you can't compare the two. Catalonians wanted to secede from Spain for a very long time, you know very well why. The issue of contribution to Spain's national budget is one of the contributing factors but is important in swinging public opinion. If Scotland were a net contributor, Indyref might...

Cadence sensors are usually also programmed to be sensitive to the RPM. I ride both types and honestly, the difference is not much while you ride on flat roads, other than torque systems keep you fitter. The difference shows up mainly on the hills, torque systems are way more demanding. You need...

I didn't know that it was an advert from the Port of Dover. Still, the 17 mile queue is well exaggerated.

that's just incorrect application of maths. Most lorries are waved through and will still be because their declaration has been done before they arrive at the border, same with containers coming from China. You may need a bigger car/lorry park at Dover and a few hundred more customs officers but...

I fit a gear sensor in the 2017 Krieger and 2018 Santana CD (arriving end of this month, October) to fix this issue.

nothing. Most trade deals are to consolidate what's been achieved and cost very little in manpower.

I think polls suggested that about 60% of Catalonians want independence. You have some parallel to brexit, Catalonia is a net contributor to the rest of Spain for a very long time, so it's easy to preach the advantages of independence.

it does not matter much which Christmas, we still don't know what we want now that the fizz has gone, having cake and eating it is out of the window.

from the daily mail: Talks on a new trade deal with Europe will begin by Christmas, EU leaders have told Theresa May. meanwhile, the vultures are circling around Manchester central.

One side, you quote 50NM for the HESC, the other you quote the 15NM figure from for other hub kits, giving the impression that the HESC can be 3 times more torquey than others. This is very mistaken. There are plenty of motors torquier than the HESC, such as the Bafang SWX02 and BPM that I use...

TM will deliver brexit while someone else, possibly JC, may provide a way out of brexit. People keep saying JC is a closet brexiter, I think you can take what he says as what he thinks, that he is not particularly pro brexit.

that metric works because there is no user input. On a torque system, user input can be 50% in eco mode, 25% in sport mode. On a simple crank rotation system, user input could be anything from 0% to 100%. As I said before, if you use 10WH/mile with little pedaling for your estimate on a system...

I think the brexit process is proceeding as well as it could be expected. This issue continues to split the country half way, there has not been enough shift in opinion to reverse brexit, so going slow gives the people the time to re-assess their view. I also approve the government approach with...

that is only because your bike is derestricted. If the assistance is cut off at 15mph, flat road, no headwind, little pedaling or rotating cranks only, you get very close to a known condition where everyone can relate to and the weight of the rider and his/her clothing don't matter much. The...

I doubt that brexit (and the empire) would make an iota of difference outside the UK and the ROI. People will still come to the UK for the culture and music.

apparently, one tory faithful compared BJ with Peter Falk's Columbo character. There may be a bit a truth somewhere in that. Whichever way, TM will have to sack him soon.

are you sure not many would understand battery capacity? after all, the capacity is on the label.

perhaps the answer is to quote only the battery capacity. That way, customers can see clearly that a 36V 5AH battery is half as good as a 36V 10AH battery. As for range, give a simple indication that if you pedal more, you extend the range and if you only rotate the cranks, then it's 10WH per...

it's not our money and good advice is usually to buy the best you can afford.

In your shoes, I'd pay £200 extra for the Race. The difference in cost of the fork justifies the difference, you'll get in addition XT 11-speed gears and the bike is 5% lighter.
