Haha, I dunno actually - it would be nice to get a date confirmed though. I have a feeling it will be sooner than that fortunately / unfortunately depending on how you look at it

Thanks Paul - glad you've been happy with our service so far! A few people have commented on an email they received from a 3rd party review company called eKomi - this is legit and we are using them to collect customer feedback, which has already given a few ideas about how we can improve. We always welcome customer comments and I do read them all. Alongside that, we are also offering 10% off ALL complete bikes over £1000 until the end of October!

Looks like some pretty shoddily manufactured crank arms?

I wouldn't worry about a rattle, but you need some lube in there really. Chain oil, motor oil, etc.

Yeah, sounds like a full alignment check is in order Mark. Happy to sort it next time you're passing, just give me a shout so I can make a free evening

I guess I just have a personal beef with them - only cranks I've ever broken (one of the only parts I've ever broken, actually!) and I find the fact they haven't updated the design for over 10 years kinda lazy...

Hmm. Hopefully it tracks up ok - that is quite a long way out so hopefully nothing too badly bent... If it needs any parts and you can get it here, happy to help sort it.

Chassis looks totally fine - you should see my MX-5 ones We need pics of your new lovely alloys

They (and every other manufacturer) do it in order to almost double the load capacity.

Engine and gearbox out... And bought an MX-5 engine on eBay for £62 - winter project number 2!

I've bought stuff from Babz on eBay before, it's all been toss... Spend a bit more if you can dude. In unrelated news, kit car show at the weekend was pretty good. According to a few people my car / driving was the quickest there which was cool! However, didn't get much track time as I lost 3rd and 4th gear around mid morning engine is stripped and ready to pull out tomorrow night all being well...

Hmm, not really, it's just for easy wheel removal.

That's the one!

Tried the Trialtech thin?

Yeah, I'm leaving the PC now...

We were told they didn't, so haven't investigated that.

Another reason why we got one a few months back to test it before buying in any stock. I don't think the RB issue was due to the lip seal, just poor tolerances or surface finish, as this one has been great.

The 14mm version will, yes.

That was my take on it too - but it seems to work in both these and the Tensile levers (before anyone asks about those, we've been spending some time tweaking them and helping Tensile to re-design a few areas, so they should be available for release in hopefully the not too distant future).

Aah, I didn't realise people would be so mad keen on the alloy piston thing. Good job we ordered plenty after spending a few months testing them, then.

What's so special about the piston?

FORTUNATELY I'm not a Manc, like Cap!

I guess you are from Yorkshire, so that figures

I'll check mine out next time it's apart, but they look and feels a lot like a helicoil. Nobody uses a breaker bar on their bike though
