    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sadiq Khan possibly but I can't see Sajid doing PMQs

    Are a Hub and Mid Drive comparable by power?

    year after year, I find that customers are willing to spend more on the mechanical bike. This year, we sell a lot more bikes with hydraulic brakes than mechanical brakes. I guess we'd stop selling mechanical brakes in a couple of years. I am looking at reducing the bike's weight this year. Fit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    no, I think there won't be an agreed FTA by end of 2021 but there will be enough support for a second referendum to decide whether we should extend the transition or reverse brexit. The outcome would then likely be to extend the transition.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think remainers will gain about 500,000 more voters each year, mostly down to demography. Do the maths. You'd need 2 more years just for a second referendum. To win comprehensively, wait 4-6 years and keep your fingers crossed that brexiters don't come up with new arguments.

    Are a Hub and Mid Drive comparable by power?

    he's counting on the wheel going in the right direction, the battery will help to push the tyre away.

    Are a Hub and Mid Drive comparable by power?

    I have 5 favourite bikes, only one of them has a crank drive and it's not a BBS.

    Are a Hub and Mid Drive comparable by power?

    one of my customers fit the battery under the downtube. The kit is a GSM, same dimensions as the BBS.

    how about putting the battery in a bag to try out? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Topeak-Midloader-Bike-Cycle-Cycling-Frame-Bag-3-0L-Capacity-/201930165515

    unlikely. We'll have to have unanimous agreement from all members of the EU27 to cancel A50. Let's see: starting with Spain about the rock..

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I have never been against FOM, being an immigrant myself for 40 years. TM has set brexit on its course by triggering A50. I don't think brexit is going to be reversed. It's true that more and more people realise that the promises made by BJ, Hannan, Gove etc are wildly unrealistic but the...

    good luck with that plan. I reckon the best the remainers can achieve is a longer transition period.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that plan should have a customs union of some sort to stop the hard brexiters. Now Rudd is removed, the remaining remainers in TM's cabinet are sheep.

    Are a Hub and Mid Drive comparable by power?

    if you compare climbing power on a gradient then yes, but as D8veh said, they feel very differently on the bike. The BBS02 is more suitable for off-road.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    by tory's standard, Rudd isn't a liar. Just incompetent. She was caught by a leading question in the House, came out with the wrong answer, the rest we already know. With hindsight, it's just a matter of time that the hard brexiters in the government would get their scalp.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    True. Remainers shot themselves in the foot asking for her scalp. TBH, the Windrush scandal has little to do with her target of removals.

    Please recommend a kit for a Specialized crosstrail

    3 x 9 is OK with the XF08C kit. hydraulic brakes are OK too. You don't have to fit hydraulic brake sensors if you want to keep the good looks of the brake levers but it's prudent to fit them. this is how they look:

    gears

    you only need the largest ring, you don't need the smaller rings.

    Loose motor

    Make sure that the triangular bracket is correctly mounted with the ridges to the inside so they key into the bottom bracket shell when you tighten the first M33 lockring. That will stop the motor from rotating. I usually tighten the first M33 lockring with a C spanner. The second M33 is there...

    Please recommend a kit for a Specialized crosstrail

    is this your bike? if it is, that Crosstrail has 700C wheels and 3x8 speed gears. I would suggest the XF08C kit for it. The battery is HL downtube battery, available in 13AH or 15AH or 17AH http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits#xf08ckit What is in the kit? 1) Rear motor wheel with cassette...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I understand the logic of offering clear choices but the PM job is special, they must represent the conscience of the nation, thus paying attention also to those who did not vote for their party. That's why I only liked John Major and Tony Blair as PM, they clearly are not perfect examples but...
