Ace, R clips are easy to get, I can do that 4.00 35 is what I need. now just to wait until I am not an ar*ehole for using a grinder.

Lesson learned hopefully I have not so completed fcuked the tool and I can put it all back together.

I plan to cut through the chain with angle grinder in the morning. Reflecting on it, the riveter bit will still work so as long as I can remove the chain I can continue

Stopped for the night. I was going to have to get the angle grinder out and I was avoiding that because of the lateness of the evening. (Not that I doubted your advice @Ian Frog) in the morning I will use the grinder, see if I can mend the tool, grind the chain off take all the bits off, make sure I have the right bits and hope. @fastbob is the offer to borrow your chain tool still open? If I need to can I borrow you too to offer moral support? I may retrieve all this independently yet in the morning.

Thanks. furst bigger hurdle. I thought that the riveting tool was the pin to break the chain and may have knackered my tool

Yes. It said to do that before removing spindle. I need a new pin thing for here. Will have it go to Cradely Heath in the morning.

Loosened the torque link nuts. (this is me keeping a record of what I have to undo and do up )

Got off the front Sprocket locking nut and washer. now to remove the rear wheel. Is it right that it is really hard to undo that nut on the rear wheel. And what the flippin heck is the pin thing going through the other side?

I’ve taken the plunge. First hurdle is I have an old socket set I keep at the allotment. I need that because the nut on the front sprocket is more than 23mm and my Halfords pro kit only goes to 23mm.

I think so, I ordered for my bike. Will check when I get round to doing this. I am almost convinced to try this weekend.

If I lay old chain next to new chain is that the way to measure? Or does it say it somewhere in a manual?

This is what I have:

In the end I did not get the kit to service that front end. Will get round to that when I have some time and money in the summer. I do however already have a chain and sprockets I bought last year when I was flush. I have watched some YouTube video’s. I am however a wee bit nervous in case I end up taking my bike off the road to do the job and then it takes too long to put back together or there is a complication. thought I would post here for some advice before deciding when and whether to get on with it now. is it a difficult job, where can I go wrong?

I had a Lexmoto that lost the ability to regularly find neutral from a few thousand miles old. Not at all a temporary thing like described by the others.

Thanks

Yes, but there are some of the flip ups that are safe/okay to use with the flip ups up as opposed to most which are not. There is a name for this and it has been mentioned here before.

All non law abiding twunts would not have the tracker and only upstanding people end up with them. can’t see the uninsured/non-mot’d/tax avoided people keeping the tracker on such vehicles.

Yes those ones. Some are rated with the face open and closed. What are they called?

What is the name of the style of modular helmet that helmets with the face down and up?

Hola as t e Spanish say.

Wahoo! Job jobbed.

Me too until now. I thought they were only orange!

@fastbob they are pink!

What they said and remember if battery is good could be charging system/regulator rectifier/stator.
