    First look at the new Woosh 26 x 4 Rio

    I'll get it at the end of the month. Will change the brakes to HDB and try with different tyres and controllers to see how she goes.

    Oxygen E-Mate rear spoke issues.

    I have a theory as to why some bikes have problems with broken spokes while others don't. I think the problem may be in the spoke nipples. Check the spoke nipples after about 100 miles. Some are easy to turn, some not, some even begin to rust. Don't worry if they are tight to turn or even begin...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Although I think remain would win a second referendum now, I don't think there is any point re-running the referendum until polls clearly show at least 10% lead for remain. Two year is a long time, I am convinced that public opinion will gradually change over to a reasoned outcome. In the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I honestly can't see when Donald Trump is going to sign an FTA with Mrs May. the risks of brexit still far outweigh potential benefits.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I much prefer the opposite, our aspiring politicians should really be doing PPE or PPS instead of history. A little more fact based thinking won't hurt. One example: Cameron did PPE and Rees Mogg History. Which one do you dislike more?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    derf talks a lot about the thing that many remainers see in brexit: it is inextricably linked to xenophobia (fear of cultural dilution on top of blood). if we could take xenophobia out of brexit, many more will be willing to give brexit a chance.

    Tillson, I am middle class and obsessed with house prices, currency, inflation, cost of living. Can't see anything wrong with that.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    we still have to wait for signs that brexit has failed or is failing. At the moment, inflation and unemployment are still low. May's dictatorial attitude is not enough.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    agreed, but we only need one out of 50 brexit voters to change their mind to stop brexit. I am pretty convinced that if May hires Farage as brexit liaison with Trump's team, that will put the majority of brexit voters off. With a bit of luck, we may get another vote before 2020.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the LSE article can be summarized by these charts: the fear of immigration is the overall driving factor. The undertone is cultural changes affecting older, insecured white males most of all. despite huge mainstream media support for Clinton, Trump won thanks to facebook. I hope that Trump's...

    Replacement bearings/rear axle for Big Bear SHUNFENG hub

    they have cup and cone bearings, you only need to open it, take the balls out, wash them and re-install. When you open the hub, check the cups - if they are corroded, you may have to replace the whole hub. Then it may be cheaper to replace the whole wheel because of labour cost to relace the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    People are used to see him pointing his finger at the apprentices and say 'you're fired' - they take everything else he says with the same spirit, it's just a TV show, no real consequences. He can tell porkies, the audience knows that and laughs with him. all the other republican candidates are...
