Operation Odessa - Netflix documentary 2018 Russian gangster called Tarzan tries to sell a submarine to the Cali cartel - nuff said?

Whatever you do don't buy your misses an ebike too - I gotta lump two bastards over now. ?

You can check how much renewable energy is being utilised for electricity generation in the UK national grid here. I've seen this as high as 80% and as low as 5%. The 10% from nuclear is constant as nuclear stations are not easy to stop and start. The average for the last year was 26% renewable...

Interestingly, the Prius was deliberately designed to look "nerdy" to appeal to the "tree hugger" type early adopters back in the day. Not every sector or demographic is looking for cool looking cars - if they were all cars would look cool. Design is not an accident.

One of the greatest things about standards is there's so many to choose from.

IMHO hydrogen is a scam and electric is the future of vehicle propulsion. Green hydrogen is currently not available for less than around £15 per kg. The oil companies (the biggest lobbying groups in the world) are backing hydrogen because they know they can create it using steam reformation of...

It wouldn't work stood up, the seat was too high and hit the inside of the roof.

Here's an article on the subject for interest - it may make an interesting thesis but in practical terms it's no more than a few pedal strokes.

It seems dumb to have a key to lock the battery when there is no key or other security to lock the bike. I never understood why an immobiliser isn't available on most ebikes - the key could be just an electronic fob that enables the electronics - it wouldn't be to hard to design the system that...

I think we can all agree that independent retailing has a bumpy road ahead. Like it's sitting at the top of a black run on a Raleigh Tomahawk.

Direct enforcement of pricing is illegal. However, I do agree there are lots of ways a manufacturer can make it very difficult for retailers who don't dance to their tune. The ways are often subtle, complex, underhand or distasteful (but not rocket science clearly). It took the Office of Fair...

I added that disclaimer just for you. But surely that's vertical price fixing? I worked for a company that was fined 900 million Euros for it lol

My current daily laugh

Manufacturers enforcing retail pricing would be illegal in Europe. The law is to ensure consumers are able to negotiate the best deal, it's not to protect retailers however. Like so many markets now days, base products do not drive big revenues, additional services, add ons, upgrades and...

I rode mine with stiction for 9 months before I sent them back - as microfiz stated it's not a safety issue rather a comfort one. The forks will still absorb bigger hits, it's the small bump compliance that is affected most and setting the sag right can be a pain. Mine went off and I was told 10...

This thread has a title that works for that...I'll add my old car - I'm interested too as I'll be buying a new car once lockdown ends. Volvo XC40 - need to remove front wheel.

I hope you're not trying to sell the camera you used for these pics....;)

If they don't work properly send them back and get them repaired. I had this problem and tried to remedy with oil changes and servicing but nothing worked completely so I sent them back to SRAM and they came back with no stiction at all. They are not the best sure, but they can be made to work...

"What did the Romans ever do for us?" “All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?” “Brought peace.” “Oh. Peace? Shut up!”
