    Flat pedals recomendtions please!!

    I have experimented with a few... the best to date are RockBros 2018-12A Oversized pedals at 13.5x12x2cm, these give me phenomenal grip, however, I do have more pedal strikes when riding through narrow tracks.

    How much is too much?

    Trying to Convince Myself

    Good call! You will enjoy it... especially with the US-market setting. When I ride with my analogue buddies I often turn the motor off-and-on (eco) to get better workout on a heavier machine.

    Import duty to the UK

    Import Tariffs are typically imposed to protect the local manufacturers. Who are the local manufacturers, aren’t premium components imported anyway?

    Import duty to the UK

    Ducati TK01, I.e.: 1. Fonts and Colours by Ducati (EU) 2. Design and component selection by THOK (EU) 3. Manufactured in Taiwan (SE Asia) Now, my question is, what is the value of RnD, logistics & profit margin that Ducati and THOK make on this bike. If it’s 55% then it will be duty free. No?

    Import duty to the UK

    I am planning to import new bike from EU. I am told by the seller that they will sell it to me ex-VAT, as UK is now outside of the single market and I will pay local VAT in UK, on arrival. I was under the impression that there is no import duty from EU, as we have a ‘free-trade’ agreement.
