  1. Found last night (with help from the guys in chat) that it was the rear brake caliper... Thanks for your help everyone
  2. Oh nanas! thanks for the replies guys, will get it looked at
  3. Had started the bike yesterday as it's not been ridden for a while. Started first time, put it into 1st and noticed the rear wheel wasn't moving....when moved by hand it's as if it's catching on something. Doesn't look as if the wheel is buckled, but does move slightly from side to side when pushed.....Have maybe the bearings gone? I noticed the last time i rode it that it was as if there is a flat spot on the rear tyre, would the bearings make it feel like this? **Wish I knew more about bikes** Sigh Any ideas? Thanks Dixie

    squeaky brakes

    I've noticed I've got a squeaky back brake, dad says it that the underside of the brake pads need greasing As always I know nothing about it, is it easy to do? Should I replace them to be on the safe side? Any suggestions greatly appreciated Thanks Dixie
  5. I bought the £25 pair last week seem to be pretty good. Bought them for just short journeys and everyday wearing. Found the straps much better than the velcro....
  6. Anyone know where I can get these and if they are specific to certain places?? Thanks Dixie
  7. Hi, just been asked to post this. There's a rideout for a local charity in Wrexham (nightingale house hospice) meeting at 10am at trackyou ltd (near demon tweeks) on Wrexham industrial estate going to Swallow Falls in Betws y Coed. I think minimum donation is £5.00 Hope it's ok to post this here Dixie
  8. That seems to make sense....mechanic is a very good friend, still like to get all your opinions tho
  9. Hi guys, after some advice on buying an oversized chain and rear sprocket.... The bike is having trouble going from 4th to 5th gear, losing speed and power rapdily. It's been in for a service and mechanic suggests buying a 45 tooth sprocket instead of the standard 42. Is this actually going to make a lot of difference? Bike is a CBR125 by the way Thanks, Dixie
  10. Thunderstorm didn't last too long, but long enough when on bike lol That was a very late 11:00 PPF.. You both free next week if weather better?
  11. Well pretty glad no one came out today....Got caught in a thunderstorm and realised just how bad manhole covers are to ride over Still managed to blow away a few cobwebs though
  12. It's given light rain around here from what i can see on BBC weather, but not sure how much of that I believe I'll be out around 12 on Thursday, unless it's persisting down that is. Hope MOT goes well, may see you then
  13. I have the whole day to myself on Thursday, want to spend a bit of bonding time with Cassie North Wales area if anyone fancies it (weather depending) Dixie
  14. Finally have something worth showing off.....well I think so anyways
