    Review Woosh Rio MTB Review/Initial Impressions

    Good morning Damian, Please check that the 4 screws holding the battery are not loose. You have two M3 screws and two self tappers. The M3 tend to get loose with vibrations, therefore could do with anti-vibration washers. If you don't have any handy, I can post you some. Also, if you have...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I wonder why the hard brexiters put forward JRM as their leader. The man has not said anything worth listening to in his whole life. Even Dominic Raab is more eloquent and convincing than him.

    fufkin, for your first kit, you may need a lot more support. If you buy from China, how are you going to send back if anything goes wrong?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Two Jags are cheap, two houses, one in London central and one in 50,000 acre plot in Scotland aren't cheap. And yet, they still sign in at the HoL while the taxis are waiting outside. Why do we give them an attendance allowance in the first place?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there should be no place for hereditary peers in our democracy. They have to earn their place in the HoL. I don't think JC will win enough seats at the next GE to command a majority but if Labour shifts their brexit stance toward EFTA then they must have done so with the tacit support of their...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I totally agree that the EU favours large businesses - to the detriment of small ones. However, we need large businesses to invest here. That's why I think we should adopt the same position of EFTA countries.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Is JC a real brexiter? Labour has shifted its position and is now pressing for Britain to stay in the single market and the customs union during any transition period. http://news.sky.com/story/mps-to-probe-whether-new-customs-system-ready-for-brexit-11024749 That's the most sensible...

    Axle on BPM front too thick for dropouts

    I haven't seen 9mm torque arms. It's not just the torque arms, the anti-rotation washers don't work well if you file the axle. You can use your QR skewer in the 10mm slots though.

    your torque arms won't work if you file the motor axle.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think that's about the right number of MPs supporting JRM candidacy. Laura K. has a copy of their letter for Sunday newspapers.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    40 tory MPs signed a letter to ensure that TM's hands are tied to hard brexit. It seems that the fight is still going on within the conservative party. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-41187051

    the XF07 is similar in performance to the XF08 CST kit. Only the motor wheel is different. The XF08 CST is for rear wheel, cassette fitting. As you want a front 700C motor wheel, your kit will be the same as XF08 CST but with the XF07 front motor wheel. The cost will be the same.

    if you are not in a hurry, I have front XF07 in 700C rims coming in next month. They should do well on your bike. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits

    what ebike for someone with a gammy knee??

    power-wise, there is not much difference. They can be just as good climbing hills as each other. However, with crank drive, you have to select the right gear. When you do, you get about 10% more torque for the same input power. Vice versa, if you are in the wrong gear, you will lose not just 10%...

    what ebike for someone with a gammy knee??

    the throttle on the FB is activated by pedaling first, for about half a revolution.

    what ebike for someone with a gammy knee??

    Hello OM, That bike in your link has a direct drive motor. It does not have the same advantage of strong torque like a geared motor at slow speed. The Bafang SWX02 in the Rio MTB, the BPM in the Big Bear and the G06 in the FB are geared motors, with a 5:1 reduction internal to the motor. That...
