Something of interest to you Gray. On next Monday 21st March, Channel 4 TV have a program at 8pm about the whole issue of what has happened to Cadburys and its brand since Kraft took over. Titled "Secrets of Cadburys". .

Still as guilty of trying of course, but perhaps the wins valid after all. There's little doubt he was an immensely capable rider, regardless of possible doping advantage. But as capable as high level sports persons are, they too often seem seriously lacking in judgment, true of L.A., the rider...

Yes, I've seen various reports of this happening. Not so in my part of a London Borough though, all the schools retain large and sometimes very large sports fields. The 200 pupil primary school near me has three playgrounds, a garden one for the infants, a hedged secluded one for those wanting...

I wonder when all this reaches the school sports field? :rolleyes: After all, the little tykes apparently use cannabis from the age of 8 in some instances, know their way round the internet and how to abuse parent's credit cards. .

Going that way here, junior doctors having national strikes over enforced removal of their Saturday overtime pay, now to be paid standard rates only. .

Indeed. There's an equivalent in athletics and gymnastics where illegal drug use has been commonplace in many countries for decades. So to try to show they are clamping down, the world's favourite current scapegoat, Russia, is being banned from the olympics. No mention of all the other...

Well done, and still a French 35 hour week I hope, not one of our UK 48 hours or more. .

Obviously the UCI seem to know more, they have produced at least two different stories. I only have the original, which makes much more sense than their latest reported version. You said yourself in the same post "probably rode", not fact, just suspicion, however strong you feel it. The only...

You seem to be very confused, I've made no claim that it cannot be used above motor cadence. Like most e-bike motors it has a freewheel that allows the bike to run above motor speed with motor not engaged, so there's no point in your comment. What I've posted is that when the drive is reversed...

She never at any time denied that bike with a motor, she merely said at the time that it was not the one she used for the event. The fact is that the story being reported now is not the one released at the time. If what is now being claimed is true and she was pulled out and the bike...

I'm not being naive at all, as a qualified motor mechanic with lots of interest in the sport I'm well aware of that cunning. But this issue is different, we're speaking of competition bikes, not cars, and you are ignoring the obvious in order to propagate the impossible. E-bike motors already...

We had a pedelec race series at Presteigne for three years, but that hasn't run for a while now. Using essentially illegal e-bikes there was little point. .

|s I've already posted, she was silly enough to also have that powered bike present at the meeting, making any defence suspect enough to prompt her to do the obvious. And no, a bevel drive wouldn't spin freely in reverse, due to the reduction ratio reversed to create the unavoidable drag, plus...

When they've been used few years as yours has, that, together with the lack of spares, means a new hub and swapping the insert is the best solution and one I've used more than once. .

This is already done with the battery and motor in the seat tube, but removing the cut short QD seat stem instantly exposes that. Having batteries in the cross bar means a hatch in the headstock to access them. Having them in the down tube means a headstock or BB hatch. All of these are...

You still have to get the crank motor in. If it's in the seat tube it's instantly detectable, and in the down tube it will need a huge access hole in the BB or headstock to insert it. Then there's it's locking pin or bolt to stop motor rotation, the wiring from the bottles and for on/off. And...

But the necessity for access to fit a motor in the downtube and to charge.replace a battery is also a giveaway if such a method is used. In addition chainstay batteries would be even more tiny and limiting. It simply isn't feasible to get any gain by such methods, and detection is always too...

She did have a powered bike at the venue but wasn't using it in the event. The fact that she had that bike there makes it impossible for her to defend herself, it was foolish of course. However, I'm sure the accusation is nonsense and it's the second time it's been made against a rider. The...

Rigid forks on the Tourer is bound to make quite a difference from the suspension fork Typhoon over a rougher path surface. I daresay on a decent road there wouldn't be much difference in comfort. .

Those indicate you are probably going beyond your fitness limit Phill. Depending on your age and general health, you could improve on those by planned daily exercises to improve your fitness. In general the greater the fitness, the lower the heart rate for a given activity level. Altitude...
