    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Since when have zero hour contracts been forced on us by the EU?? So you're complaining now that the EU should be dictating to us, and you want to leave so that we have more control over something we already have total control over?? You do realise the things you are complaining about have a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, but you asked who'd benefit and I've given you 2 direct examples that I have first hand experience of. All your reply has shown is that the EU isn't the over powering dictatorship that many claim it is. If there are things you don't like, you don't have to accept them. Just look at eBike...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I heard someone this morning describe it like this. We were fed up with a two party system where we just flip flopped between Red and Blue, and we've ended up with a 7 party system where we're stuck with Blue for the exact reasons you've described Flecc.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sales Agents. We're protected by a host of European Law, that the UK signed up to and has to implement. It means that working across Europe is dead easy, and we're protected. I've had to take a client to court in Germany before and the process was made about 1000x easier by our EU membership...

    Bosch CX question for a newbie.

    Its also to do with the Shimano hubs not being for MTB, they are for city and trecking, which is what the STEPs and Active drives are for. The Rohloff and CX drives are for MTBs.

    Bosch CX question for a newbie.

    Many Schwalbe tyres come in MTB or cross sizes, so you can use it for either. For instance the Smart Sam comes in a massive range of sizes. https://www.schwalbe.com/gb/offroad-reader/smart-sam.html 37-622 (28 x 1.40, 700x35C) Is the narrowest, and very much a hybrid size.

    Bosch CX question for a newbie.

    You mean like this: The Cross range are a stripped down, more sporty style hybrid style bike, confusingly, the Sport range of bikes are basically the same bikes are the cross, with a more road friendly tyre and the full accessory pack added. I don't think any brand will do a CX motor, with...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    have you managed to be able to predict the future? You have no idea what relationships between the UK and France will be in a couple of years. You might no meet their immigration criteria. Especially if the UK is stopping their citizens coming here, free movement is stopping isn't it?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The French will at least be able to watch the UK... if the "blame everyone" else politics we're currently pursuing works then they'll know. If as I personally expect, we discover that immigrants and the EU aren't the problems in the UK, then those in France will see that following this route...

    Changing lives up here too, and quite literally opening up new horizons. There is no way Louise would go out cycling, never mind an MTB ride. Last weekend we had some small demo bikes arrive, this was her on Sunday evening. 20 miles into an offroad ride around these hills.

    Gravel Bikes

    They're nothing new ;) its just a way of the industry increasing the market for cyclocross bikes. We've suddenly started selling loads because people have realised they don't have to race CX on them, they are a very versatile bike.
