• Its all here

    Even by the usual incompetent standards of Brexit mismanagement, that's going to be an absolute shit show. The fact that the EU insisted on the inclusion of such anti-business terms in the arrangement should disabuse even the most ardent Europhiles of any remaining delusion that the European project ever had anything to do with free trade.

  • Not here as well. The new rules are in response to outside eu sellers declaring low value and it sneeking in under the radar. Also above certain thresholds which varied from state to state eu business has to register with vat in a member state. Big eu firms had to resigster with all member states and submit vat returns. The new regime simpiflies everything.

    Cross boarder commerce and the rise of online market places have forced a change in the rules.

    I will go along with it. It not going to be too burdensome and the reward is huge. Eu sales are huge chunk of change for me. Please keep anti eu politics out of this thread at least.

  • Please keep anti eu politics out of this thread

    It's more a broad anti-politics point than an anti EU one. The pattern repeats itself throughout the world and all through history:

    1. Make a bad law
    2. Discover that the cost of enforcing it is out of all proportion to the benefit
    3. Punish the population by replacing it with a worse law

    cheers! your technical disquisitions got me mentally horny as fuck about hubs... i've been thinking about them to sink them in...
    thank you very much, i learnt a lot.

    novatecs are quite obtainable here in italy...
    i think my choice has now boiled down to novatecs vs ambrosio zeniths.
    zenith is the only lowbudget hub easily available /w 36 holes.
    i weight 63-65kg, but for my style of riding (pretty raw) and glorious Rome city pavement state (also pretty raw)..
    what do you think? should i go 36?
    also im' starting to wonder... how many spoke crossings? at least 2, that i do know... :) [im mostly concerned about the rear, the front doesn't bother me]
