    Brexit, for once some facts.

    How many times do I have to tell you I,m not really bothered one way or other about Brexit. Yes, I,d rather leave, for all reasons I,ve said and all experiences I had running a business in France/ Spain...but if we stay...then so be it. What is way more important is having a caring government...

    Totally agree. Along with 75% of his posts. ( Please note Tom when you do say something worthwhile ( which to be fair you often do) I click your agree/ like icon..

    My Haibike , no matter what graph says, is giving plenty of power at 85...but only if you can still load pedals ... Lets say for example you have to exert 10kg force to trigger max current ( no idea what actual figure is) A normal cyclist will start to struggle putting same force on pedals as...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    From Tom's link.. "They make outrageous claims that often read like tabloid headlines, resort quickly to personal attacks and attempts to discredit and smear when you disagree, and they never debate reasonably." Irony from Tom. Or Tom could be a "Bot"..He might not even exist.

    Time to look at yourself Tom . I strongly suspect the arguments and attitudes you have expressed on here are not unique to this forum. I,d have a bet you have similar arguments in most aspects of your life. Bet you are the life and soul of get togethers.

    Tom,s assessment of both right wing and warm support is rather skewed. Planemo on his resume of Tom received 5 likes, think its a record for a critical post about an individual, and I don't think any of the 5 are right wing at all, let alone extremist. Very typical reply from Tom. He just can...

    Most powerful eBike for long uphill journeys?

    I have only used 2 (CD) systems. The Yamaha on mine and Bosch CX on bike bought for wife. CX probably feels to have more torque but performance on hills seems identical ( imho) To my mind its essential ebike provides adequate but no more power. An architect friend of mine , who is responsible...

    Where do you find them Woosh ? Again a caveat for the above...if you are running to hard pressure ( it is an mtb thread after all) wheel will lift over stones rather than absorb the stone into it...so for off road there really is an optimum pressure..enough to have least resistance on smoothish...

    A With one exception...big wheels have less rolling resistance,to do with angles and wheel mounting imperfections on road/ track.. See what your top speed is on a skateboard on rough track...mtb wheel rolls over it easy.. On perfect surface would make no difference, but there is no such thing....

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    All that is even more reason why JC should be opposing the government. What is the point of being in opposition if you do not oppose. Its fundamental to our democracy. Opposition should represent the minority view, then if it turns out to be a majority view they get in power...yes I know its a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I voted Labour , which was a waste of time on 2 accounts. 1) The biggy. They lost. And 2 . Like I keep repeating They have exact same policy on Brexit. ( well so we believe, who knows with JC) I used my democratic right of protest by voting. Whittering and whining in here makes not a jot of...

    Well I,m pretty sure we could find plenty more clubs to join,pay yearly membership and then completely ignore their stupid rules... Its like joining an expensive Golf Club, never playing at it, putting 2 fingers up to club secretary...going to all its stupid meetings and paying membership. Cant...

    No OG you are not reading my posts as intended. Intrinsically ECJ is great and says and attempts to do all the correct idealistic things but if govenments so wish their wishes are simply over ruled by national rulings.( as my quote made clear) I have nothing against ECJ or the Delai Lama or...
