    Woosh Karoo - heights

    robF, don't be so hasty. Check the same measurement on your own bike. If your trousers length is 31", you can ride the Karoo. BTW, you criticized cheap forks last week but still have not told us which fork is on your bike.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    flud, you can't see how wrong your arguments are. Let's say your sales director just told your backers that he wants to replace half of your customers with new, better ones. Would you be really surprised if most of your backers won't believe that he can and will be scared away and start pulling...

    they have SWX02 on 26" rear rims that they use to assemble the Sport in Southend. It shouldn't be a problem for them to sell you one instead of the same on 650B if you ask.

    the motor is Bafang SWX02 laced to 26" rim, controller is Lishui 18A. Maximum draw is 40V * 18A = 720W. That shoulld be OK for your need. They sell also the Big Bear kit, Bafang BPM motor + Lishui 20A controller but it's not road legal because the motor is marked 350W and sold as such.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    brexit changes the direction of the UK economic policy. A lot of investors do not think that it is better to be out of the EU than in, therefore confidence in our future success evaporates, they are pulling their money out, about 50 billions a month, and that withdrawal of funds causes the drop...

    nobody denies the result, some of us say it was a mistake so we should look for a democratic way of reversing it.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the brexit referendum is about economics versus democracy. With hindsight, we should have expected that the general public understands democracy far better than economics.

    often, referendum is not the right way to gauge the public mood because the general public lacks expertise.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I am not surprised. That is the direct result of the drop in value of the Pound. Try explaining this to flud. The off-balance sheet liabilities of our big four banks run into tens of trillions. One percent drop in the value of the Pound puts them directly into under-capitalized state.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you may be right, Carney works for the remainers. If he devalues the Pound enough, maybe even die hard brexiters will give up the dream. I talked to a Frenchman at the local market this morning, he was selling me some girolles. 'You, the English, you are very intelligent people! we wish we had...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reckon the BoE's move is part of Mrs May's strategy that she'll pull all the stops to make brexit a success. She will wait until the majority comes to realize that the BoE can't stop the recession and brexit is a bad idea, then announce that she is going to call the big 50.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    according to Greenpeace, we don't need Hinkley C and should look at alternative renewables. I used to see nuclear power as a good thing but have gradually changed my view since Fukushima. These huge installations do not reduce the carbon footprint and are a menace to us all. We should be less...
