They come on the XTP-R as standard. Very nice and all, made by Tiso for road racing if I remember right.

Lots of things have an image problem, some can be fixed, but you'll never make trials sexy no matter what. May as well just enjoy the relative obscurity it affords.

It is roughly as useful and attainable as the creme egg car though There's an ancient van in the Bass museum in Burton shaped like a beer bottle, proper good

I didnt think it was possible to get whiplash when reversing?

Beer, to lessen the effect of flipp's advice.

Rather academic cos it'd still blow up

Ever considered why I don't ride anymore and usually can't be found at home?

If there's any bolt sticking out the frame, the first recourse should be a good set of mole grips. Only when they fail do you start using heat or drills

On the flip side of that, I'm glad it was someone who knew exactly what she was doing but didnt like me much. Nothing to get tied up in, just a simple shagging lesson

Getting the BB out involves circlip pliers, some heat to cook the loctite and loosen it, then some icky thump with a fair sized hammer. Unless it's absolutely knackered leave it in.

Perfectly reasonable connection I would say.

Air (moon safari) and the Sneaker pimps (becoming x) are the "chillest" albums I've found. The Verve - Urban Hymns is also very good when you just need to fall into bed and not think too hard.

Game of golf chap?

Too right, most of led zep III is better by miles. I've decided I dont like Biffy Clyro purely because that caledonian cow on radio one in the afternoon rants about them all the bleeding while. Stupid tart. Worst song is kanye west's latest lack of effort. How the f**k anyone in this country can match their reality to his music is beyond me.

Something's happened, you wont tell us, but its definately worth knowing. This is almost as rivetting as the saga of your honda's bonnet....

The guide also says that you will be picked up within the time it takes to die, but at an almost infinite probability of you dying anyway. So you're toast really

I may be wrong, but the market for a carbon booster is small anyway due to its cost, where almost all vee users are tarts who will willingly spend money on boosters like it's going out of fashion

The alloy sleeve that you put on the axle before the freehub body, just make a bronze one of them that's large enough diameter to be a nice running fit on the inside of the freehub body, it's directly underneath the pawls so supports it well.

Anything upto 20mm taken off the freehub body is fine, beyond that you will find there isnt enough space inside the freehub body to thread properly. The freehub will require extra support if you want the bearing to last, I made a bronze bush to take the place of the alloy spacer, a nice running fit on the bore in the freehub, keeps everything in line. Not a lot else to it really, those generation Hope hubs are agriculturally robust and will stand a lot of abuse.

If the pedal is really stuck, all putting the lockring on will do is strip its threads. Your best bet is to pull the pedal apart, grip the axle in a vice and grip the largest diameter section of the insert with some stillsons. It is very likely to do damage though if it's seriously tight.

If it defies all movement, I can drill it out for less than a new insert.

If you like your twins and if you ever get this far north, get into Nottingham Industrial museum. Five Brough Superiors. I dont think I need to elaborate

Good lathes coming out of china now, they do benefit from careful assembly and a bit of fitting. Also, is that machine in your avatar a BSA twin?
