One step forward!!

Post by TimO »

Heres mine :cry:

Still waiting for bits to come back from various places. Took the forks off this morning. One of the Allen bolts in the fork leg bottoms is seized in and now rounded off, Darn it!!

Hopefully in the next couple of weeks it'll be back on the road

That is a genius idea :D

If it works, I'll buy you a large drink of your choice at the bar

Did you kneel down at the "Copper Slip" alter when replacing those bolts???

Sadly the "top bodge" didn't work. A trip to a local engineering co worked a treat. Still haven't put it back together though :( I have painted the outside of the house and done lots of general repair jobs around the house though :roll: That is why I took this week off work :evil: :evil: :evil:

Hi. When I looked at your photo similar ones appeared and one was a set of drawings of the suspension triangle showing +25. I assume this is this to raise the bike 25mm. Perhaps Confitures may be persuaded to post his drawings which do the opposite as they are very helpful.

Cheers
