    Towing children uphill. Which ebike?

    I agree broadly with d8veh but would like to make the following comment. There are unfortunately very few models of hydraulic brakes with built in brake sensor. I do not recommend fitting one without sensor and relying on just one sensor for your safety. The other way is to buy a cable operated...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I would have thought you only need emotionally intelligent and goodhearted people to form a good government. The role of ministers is usually to go on TV and explain why things go pear shaped.

    Towing children uphill. Which ebike?

    no, you can see the cable in the picture. Avid brakes are better than Tektro because they use larger pads. The larger 180mm rotor also helps. It's easy to change to hydraulic if you need to but I don't think there is much need. I have tested changing over, replacing the Avid caliper with...

    "the debilitation of Labour is the facilitator of brexit" I can agree with that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Blair has been a remainer for some time, at least since his speech in 2012 on Europe. That was in 2012. http://www.tonyblairoffice.org/news/entry/tony-blair-urges-uk-to-shape-the-future-of-europe/. He is a far better presenter than Kenneth Clarke. His role in the Iraq war is clear for all to...

    Towing children uphill. Which ebike?

    Hello Crokers, The Big Bear has front SRAM Avid disc brakes on 180mm rotor, larger than the usual 160mm rotors. They have excellent braking power, Avid pads are larger pads and self centering. Rear brakes are Tektro rim brakes, excellent braking power too.

    let's be brutally honest about this, remainers need Blair. You guys don't have to love him, only do as he says. He has the money and the skills to remove Corbyn who destroyed his beloved New Labour. As long as Corbyn is the leader of the opposition, nobody is opposing Mrs May and the gang of IDS.

    I don't think he will return to the Commons, but play the King maker. Kill Corbyn is his mission. Wait for his comments next Friday after the conservatives bag Copeland and Ukip bag Stokes.

    The only way brexit can be reversed is to dethrone Mr Corbyn and it has to be done very soon.

    I reckon he is simply running a political lobby.

    they are in it for fees, at least £1,000 an hour even for junior barristers.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I think Mrs May plans to trigger A50 before the French presidential election. Corbyn, on the other hand, wants it triggered as soon as possible. He said as much on June 24th. From that perspective, Blair seems a threat to Corbyn. Boris is Boris, he skims on facts and usually uses humour for...

    so he should. That does not give him the right to call me and other posters names.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    When you reduce a complex set of issues to a simple yes/no, there's bound to be confusion nd ignorance. You can't blame people for not spending enough time to fact check everything. Parliament is in the driving seat now. Apparently, lawyers think that brexit can be reversed by parliament and...

    Hi. I'm Trish

    the lock has two parts, the mechanical lock and the switch which is turned by a peg molded to the lock cylinder. Replacing both parts is best but you will need a soldering iron to detach the two wires from the old lock and resolder them to the new lock. If you wish to do that, email...
