    Brexit, for once some facts.

    It really does concern me. I've had some very frack conversations with people are who are very pro "leave" and in every case when you drill down to their reasons, they are pretty much nonsense. Even the most educated / level headed person who I respect and know well argued that it was about...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't understand this logic? How do you think us leaving the EU is going to protect us from a collapse there (if)?? Its our biggest customer, if it fails, we fail no matter if we're in it or not. Its our neighbour, and I'm afraid even if we do leave the EU, we're never going to be able to...

    Brexit speed question.

    Do you not think that the powers that be are more likely to reduce the speed for cars to 15mph in those areas, rather than increase the speeds of other motorised forms of transport to match the current 20mph?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I appreciate the compliment in there. But I would highlight, that we're not "heavily dependent on a single factor" there are lots of things that can impact on any business, the cost price of the supply chain going up is just one, and this can be effected by any number of things, the exchange...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Here's a fact for you. I've just had to tell the small film production company we try to support when we can that we won't be able to use them for any video's over the next 3 months. The collapse in the price of the value of the £ has meant we've lost pretty much all our margin on the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you missed my point... which was that the plane crashed. So not that successful a use of the English language. But yes, having raced bikes all over the world I can confirm that in cycling its also the dominant language. But I'm not sure that's a good thing, it can be argued that it's made us...

    I'm not sure that's the best example to use ;)

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    couple of points, you do realise the recent referendum was the 2nd one don't you? Plus I suspect he's not calling for a referendum, he's actually saying they'd stand on the basis of remaining in the next general election and then they wouldn't need a referendum.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well it looks like labour are now joining the Lib Dems in their support of not leaving the EU, and blocking attempts for article 50. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37167253 Interesting times ahead.

    Our replacement for the EU?

    There were 17 million people who voted leave, but I suspect about 1 million different reasons, and a high % of them have been proven to have zero to do with the EU, and an equal number are now being proven to not be solved by leaving the EU.

    Bosch PowerPack 400, Active Rack-mounted battery 400 Wh - Platinum

    I made a mistake, and ordered us in a battery that isn't the one we needed or wanted. Bosch handle their warranty very efficiently and therefore we simply don't need this rack mount battery as a spare here. So rather than it collect dust and get forgotten about.... we're passing it on at a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Yes, I know all that... I'm just wondering how you see it being possible for his company to make more money, without the UK making some more concessions? ie... it'll cost you and I more money to keep his company manufacturing in UK, if they are to remain competitive.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Can you explain to me how you think its an opportunity? If we stay in the single market, then yes the decline in the value of the £ will make his cars cheaper, but that's the exact reason why Germany/France will be pushing for a tariff, because they'll want to ensure EU cars are sold to EU...

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    This works fine in the NHS when your chances of a repeat need for good service or a favour from the same individual isn't really the same. Bike shops, and brands are very likely to remember you if you kick off, or don't kick off, and your understanding of the situation will be rewarded I'm sure...

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    What I mean when I say that its not a big deal, is that I'm sure it'll be sorted. You won't be the only customer with this bike, and Ilkley won't be the only dealer raising it. A dealer "complaining" has exponentially more impact than an individual for obvious reasons. I'm sure it'll be...

    We're buying some of these to wear for trade shows.... handing over the new pricelists is currently a painful experience :( https://teespring.com/I_Voted_Remain?pr=RIO2016#pid=389&cid=100020&sid=front

    2016 Giant Road e+1 display in KPH not MPH

    I would suggest Giant won't reply, so you're wasting your time. Leave it to Ilkley to sort out, they are good guys and I'm sure will either get you a 2017 display or find out how to adjust the software. Its not a big deal, and bikes are not legally required to have a speedo so there is...
