Me too, but for saying so at school I had one of the older much taller kids approach me from behind and smash a housebrick down on my head. He probably considered himself a sportsman. Walking back into the school building witn blood gushing down all over my face and shirt did create quite a...

You really have to be joking! I've almost certainly read a minority of the posts since I've skipped past almost all of the very long essays that dominate the thread. When the point isn't immediately apparent, there is no way I would wade though to find it. I doubt you would want to waste your...

I wouldn't disagree with any of this post Paul. My objective isn't to reverse what has happened, I accept it. But to make the best of it for me means keeping a very close relationship with the EU, so very little change in effect. I think the combination of the close referendum result and all...

Look into the meaning Flud. I only went back 5 pages precisely because I spend minimal time, so wouldn't want to go right back though and waste a huge amount of time. And I can rightly claim minimal time due to the brevity of so many of my posts, less than 4 lines being common. Compared to...

Seriously Paul I don't agree that this complaining does nothing, it's just a very small part of a huge tide of complaint and discussion on Brexit. In response to my inquiry about such complaining at the outcome, Google informs me of 16.2 million entries. The newspapers have never let up on the...

Click the links: This one has a rear hub motor in a 20" wheel with large rear of seatpost battery. Its huge panniers are often heavily loaded and I've even carried a large CRT television set on the carrier to the council dump. And I tow .jpg']heavy loads with the trailer nose weight added to...

But with a crank motor a rear of seatpost battery like that Piaggio design is integrated, coupled to the motor unit and nicely protecting connections etc from the weather and road spray. This is my favourite Piaggio model, the P180 Avanti: :)

You really do make a habit of being wrong Flud. I've just quickly checked through the last five pages of this thread and found I'd posted 30 lines in total, 9 lines defending myself against unfair accusations like your's above, and 4 lines helpfully answering someone's Crown Dependencies...

Wrong as ever, my time in this thread has been minimal. Most of my online time is spent on a completely different forum where many people are and have been grateful for my help in over a thousand posts in the year since last August. Just this moment answered another one. And I spend many...

If you are fed up with this thread, it can only be because you enter it when you already know you don't like it. Rather foolish don't you think? Why not just ignore it, it's not depriving you of anything? .

Don't include me in this sweeping generalisation. There's been no injustice, the vote was to leave and there were obviously people from every walk of life voting that way for their own often valid reasons. My position is simply that I believe it will be a costly mistake. .

The reiteration was necessary to making my point. No we didn't, the result was marginal, just either side of 50/50, perhaps that's something the Brexiters don't seem able to grasp? I'm not trying to change any minds, since I'm content that Brexiters embarrassment will inexorably increase as...

Indeed, so-called labour governments since have been moderate liberal or pseudo conservative. Recognising this truth, Tony Blair even had the sense to give his brand of conservatism a name, New Labour. .

The first sentence illustrates that they don't understand. It's big boys world now, and we need to be part of one of them. It doesn't have to be the EU though, but that just happens to be a convenient local one and one of the biggest. .

He's clearly an idiot. If they didn't have all the people, the elite wouldn't be an elite, they'd be the remaining peasants growing crops to survive. .

Because that one is a bit different from most it's difficult to make clear what's wanted. Usually the part on the bike is an actual platform with some sort of contacts that the battery sits on, so just called a battery platform like this one for example: In your case I'd describe it as the...

The part on the bike having the battery contact points is generally called the Contacts Platform. .

That's good news, there's been attempts to introduce e-power before but vested interests have defeated them. . .

That is correct, they are not in Great Britain, Britain, the UK or the EU. They are Crown Dependencies, as is the Isle of Man and the Virgin Islands. This means they don't contribute to the UK and are fully self governing, but the UK looks after their defence and provides international...

Yes, hydraulic is so much better than cable for control, even with rim brakes. As you say, V brakes are ok for someone like me, 64 kilos and most riding at moderate speeds. Even when I indulge in high speeds downhill, it's where I can use the energy to propel me along the next stretch and not...
