Hello IL, for your requirements and budget, may I suggest the Woosh Santana CD. It has a crank drive motor, its climbing performance is outstanding, you can rely on it to take you home on throttle. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?santana-cd If you are taller than 5ft8, the Woosh Bali may also be...

I use IGH in a few of my bikes for years, the result is very good. My latest folding bike has carbon belt and IGH. As it has been pointed out, IGH excludes rear hub motor, so its use is really limited to CD bikes. I will test them soon on my Krieger and Santana CD bikes fitted with gear sensors...

I like IGH too. The main consideration is low maintenance. Yes, you pay a little more when you buy the bike but that will be soon forgotten, the bug bear later is really maintenance. IGHs reduce maintenance. Less dirty chain, less wear on the drivetrain, no noise in gearshift. That's alone is...

if you could take it to Southend, I'll check it out for you FOC.

60 billions divorce bill: it's OK if we can have a good deal afterward.

the Oxygen does not go faster but it has better acceleration. It also has better components: motor, controller, battery, LCD, brakes, suspension fork, crankset, derailleur, pedals, grips, handlebars, frame, tyres, rims etc

all councils have been asked to send in samples of cladding if used on their high rise buildings for lab tests. Apparently, the vast majority passed, only some in London have the wrong type.

no effort means a full throttle, not fitted to most bikes. What do you mean by little effort? Most bikes with torque sensors have a maximum assist ratio of 300%, you put in 25% of the required energy, the bike adds 3 times your own effort, 75%. Bikes with rotational sensor let you put in as...

You still can have a dead LCD. where do you live?

After the fridge exploded, all the compressed refrigerant gas must have escaped. Firemen usually check the area before leaving. If the fridge fire blew the windows in the explosion, the firemen would have checked the area around the windows. I find it strange that the firemen left the flat after...

I had another look at ScottA's bike this afternoon. the graunchy feel may come from the friction between the magnet disc and the ball bearing. Scott, could you put a little bit of grease in between the two? I thought of adding a bit of grease but Scott collected his bike just before.

why would the owner turn on the extractor fan? still a mystery.

it does not change the time table though. The UK is leaving the EU by March 2019. At that time, we hopefully won't be out of the single market thanks to the transitional arrangements. By the end of the transitional period, I hope we would have largely solved all outstanding issues or called a...

yes, we would be in the driving seat if and when the EU agrees to a transitional period.

I think you got me wrong here. The key objective for the UK is not would we stay in the single market or the customs union but the transitional arrangement. This is important because not only it gives us an extension beyond March 2019 but it also allows time for a rational debate on the future...

The tories make a big deal about lower direct taxes compared to Labour. I don't think they want to eliminate the welfare state, they need the vote of the pensioners. I don't pay any attention to that kind of arguments. There will be always votes, only the last one really counts though.

I am not worried about the costs of brexit because if they are high then the tories are to blame and will be punished at the next GE.

what I am still not clear about is that the firemen put out the fridge fire - if the fridge fire had spread to the cladding, it must have gone through the windows. why didn't they notice that the cladding was also on fire? were there two fires instead of one?

error 30 is usually from the controller or the trunk cable.

apparently, there are loopholes in building regs allowing such material to be used if sandwiched between two sheets of metal whose thickness is not specified in the regulations. Expect the contractors' lawyers to use this annex.
