    Brexit, for once some facts.

    We need to ask ourselves if the price of world's 6th ranking in economic power is worth the price we are paying. I think not.

    we already do. We import nuclear waste from the USA, the EU and some other places, extract usable remnants and keep the waste buried underground.

    Off-Road Mainly, Conversion Ideas

    I don't have the G06 as a kit at the moment because the market for fat bike kits is still small. The reason I did not suggest any kit before is because you want to go mainly off-road, for which the G06 and a fat bike would be a better fit. All the kits I sell have either rack battery or downtube...

    Mike, check your junk mail folder. Andy told me that a few people wondered this week why he did not answer. You can also start a conversation with Woosh, he can reply to you using the forum's PM system.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not interested in the question. As Mr Barnier said, it's not an exit bill. It's a recognition of what we agreed to pay and a commitment to settle the account when it's rendered. So it's not a bill as such. It's like you give to your staff a company credit card. If you have a heart attack...

    then they wouldn't be interested in the question.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think they can justify it by saying 'we are paying less for the same advantages compared to staying in'. Truth is flexible.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes. I think the EU only want a commitment to meet the cost, the proper bills will come in later, so it's roughly about 11 billions a year to start with, reducing over the next 10 years.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, me. At least at this time. We have never bought into the idea of ever closer union. That's where the EU has been going for sometime.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    brexit is not one minefield but two. Corbyn knows that any deal with the EU will be 90% sure to nominate the ECJ as the arbiter. Corbyn will keep his mouth shut as long as he can..

    High mileage

    I've seen members quoting 15,000 miles before but 25,000 is likely a record for some time. It goes to show the incredibly low cost of ownership for a Chinese bike and a record for a Bafang geared hub motor.

    High mileage

    25,000 - possibly a record on the forum. Very well done, although some LCDs display a decimal point.

    are you sure he did all 25 thousand miles on that bike?

    It's finally given up !

    it may be just the one way clutch.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not sure about that. At present, the tories are rudderless but if Mr Corbyn somehow manages to win enough seats at the next GE to become the next PM, his government won't probably do any better. that's why I think that the transition period is important for both parties. Even for hard...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    no storm, if anything, the British economy will fizzle and most brexiters get what they want: less immigration and no ECJ. The loser is the Treasury. Fewer immigrants means reducing the GDP and tax take. Austerity is a policy, not a consequence of voting for brexit and for possible job losses...

    High mileage

    You just bought it? How many miles did the previous owner ride on it?
  18. Woosh

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    yes, I think so. The losses, if they happen, will be in jobs rather than in prices. Goods coming from outside the EU will continue to pay the same duty, goods coming from the EU may attract a small amount of duty, at most 3% except cars and foodstuff. It is within our government power to waive...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    do you think that many brexiters will worry about paying a small amount of extra duty on imported goods after brexit?

    Buying my first e-bike

    the feel of bionic legs that you have with CD motors is the same with rear hub motors. It's the front motor that gives a different feel to normal cycling. PS: I think the feeling that 'someone pushing you at constant speed from the back' is likely to be produced by bikes with low torque, they...
