All this loss of "sovereignty", border control, British identity BS is just that, or, if you prefer something more "this side of the Atlantic", a load of old codswallop. There are absolutely no facts to confirm that you have ever lost anything or had anything stolen since joining the EU. You...

You will have a bike that is about 5-6 kg heavier than any other e-bike and it won't be street legal. The BBS has an internal controller already of course...

You have control over your border, Ireland has control over the other one! Didn't anyone tell you? Have you tried getting into the UK as a non EU citizen? Have you tried as a member of the Commonwealth? Trust me it isn't a wide open affair. Monaco, San Remo and the Vatican don't have control...

The question as always Dave is who are your clients and how are they going to earn a living to pay for what you want to sell? Luxury goods are not, and have never been, a problem. Rich people do not know what austerity means, they have read the definition in a dictionary and it ends there...

When you say the cassette wears out do you mean all cogs or just the 12 tooth cog? It is in aluminium and can be bought and changed separately as you know. I only have 1000 km or so on my cassette so far and it looks brand new. I put the 11 tooth from the previous 11-28 on the 12-32 cassette so...

This LCD is a step in the right direction. I am an extremist and really just want to see the real time voltage of my battery and what assistance level I am in. All other information is on my GPS screen if and when I need it and that isn't on most of my rides.

There is a very small (tiny in fact) learning curve, glad you have your training wheels off now! For your next trick have a go on a bike with a hub motor, more things to learn. :)

Listen you guys if this name calling doesn't stop soon I will throw all my toys out of the pram! I am not kidding I will really do this! So just stop now! :( Jeez I never believed I would see the English of all the peoples on the earth as thin skinned as the bloody yanks! Where did your...

External PAS update: The external M33 motor mount locking ring was machined down to 4.01 mm thick (from 6.24 mm) at great expense :( by a local company and now the PAS sensor is back on its holder and locked firmly in place between the two M33 rings. I Dremeled the centre out of the magnet disk...

It's all part of a cunning plan! Like turning 6.699 people into 7 thanks to a handy rounding up algorithm instead of saying "almost 7 of them" or "over 13 out of 20". Benjamin Disraeli would be proud tilson!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina#Criticism_of_government_response The Euro zone is 19 countries. The USA is a federation of states with state governments having practically the same role as EU national governments in many areas. This includes state taxes and fiscal policy...

Because the EU sets emission standards which are implemented and enforced (or not) by national governments (you know the ones without sovereignty...) and their testing bodies. "Government regulatory agencies and investigators have initiated proceedings in France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland...

Lucky you aren't in my kitchenette when I am working on the bike... :rolleyes:

Try telling that to people from Puerto Rico, hey try telling that to people from Mississippi...

Much the same as Mississippi and California or, shudder, Puerto Rico... Puerto Rico is Greece on steroids and yet is being given its austerity medicine by Wall Street where they know how to apply austerity medicine don't they? Isn't this the example we are supposed to follow, starve the poor to...

OK thanks d8veh I'll keep that in mind, I still have a couple of LBS to visit (looking for unloved child's bike). I am pretty sure mine is the Chinese size 305 x 19 seeing the provenance and price of the trailer. Tailor wheels sell a whole wheel for £15.20 + postage and rims in every other...

Silly me I thought a Google search would help me find a cheap 16" rim for my trailer. Finds lots of wheels but I don't need a wheel just a rim. Finds a few overpriced aluminium rims for Brompton's and the like but I just need cheap and straight... Any ideas?

I was a toddler then so my now aching joints could take it! :rolleyes: My first bike was a Raleigh all steel single speed, probably a 24" wheel, which my uncles gave me for Christmas in the mid 60's. Lucky me, my cousins hadn't been conceived so they spoiled me at Christmas.

If I go to the UK I have to show my passport and the person asks me "how long are you staying sir?" or "What is the purpose of your visit?" When I go to Spain I walk or ride my bike over an imaginary line and no one is even there to ask any questions. The first seems a hell of a lot like...
