F**K IT F**K IT F**K IT Still not got my bike fixed how long does it take for F**KS sake, its been a shambles from sart to finish asked for a price before easter and got rung on easter saturday to tell me what was wrong again but no price told me they'd ring the following thursday with a price and didn't so i ring them finally get a price last friday morning told them to go ahead and order parts. Rang yesterday to be told they've been shut since the bank holiday and not all my parts have come in supposed to ring this morning to tell me when can expect parts in and job to be done and still waiting. oh and tax has run out and not mot means i now have to sorn it too so F**K IT some more

no

F**K it, all linkage bearings are seized solid and now mechanic saying he's not sure the shock is actually damping and they can't give me a price till next thursday. I bounced up and down on the suspension before it went in and it seemed to be no different to how it has been the whole time i've owned this bike (although i didn't notice the linkage) 3rd mot i've put it through and first time this problem has come up not even had advisories for suspension. Right royally fed up at the minute looks like another fortnight at least with no bike

i didn't feel any binding at all but will certainly be giving them a once over before the next mot barring a windfall and a bike upgrade

thanks for the link, so far after another chat with the mechanic who did mot the brakes are probably sticky due to road film and unlikely to need another rebuild (thank F**K) and he will be taking the rear end apart but looks like its going to be the linkage

damn it i'd have tagged along with you guys but bikes off road for a fortnight

so the thundercat failed its mot again this year front brakes need rebuilding again (did them last year ) and rear suspension is stiff garage are stripping it down to identify whether it is the bushes or the shock, does anyone have any experience with getting the rear shock refurbished and what sort of cost i would be looking at? thanks steve

dog had to be put down last night F**K IT

i was thinking that they wouldn't be as strong as they were........ then again the amount of glue thats gone on they may turn out tob estronger than before

just had to superglue the sole of my left boot back on, why do these things always happen when your skint so over the next few weeks i'll be llooking for a bargain new pair again this pair cost me a tenner off fleabay 3 years ago and this is the first issue i've had with them.

Dog keeld over twice yesterday and couldn't move got him sorted all seemed fine again came downstairs this morning there he is laid flat out in a puddle of his own p F**K IT

just joined with megus racing

the split link was solid not moving at all given it a good scrubbing and lubing and lot of jiggling and it now moves more than it did also readjusted the chain and noise has gone (well quieter) and don't notice it through the pegs either now. New speedo cable on too does feel better to do these jobs yourself

As if trying to diagnose my strange noise from front sprocket wasn't bad enough now my speedo cable has fecking snapped F**K IT

I thought the same but the sprockets were put on with the chain done 2k at most, had a bit of a look tonight and sprocket still looks brand new going to get sprocket cover off and have a good clean round it and clean and re-do chain tension at weekend just to be doubly sure its not that.
