Bought many items from them over the years, and any problems I've had with the gear they've sorted it out no problem.
-
Probably an air pocket in there somewhere. Unscrew caliper (don't disconnect brake line) and try turning it upside down or shaking it etc...
-
Maybe if you win it for £20 Try sending him a message and say you can buy them for £35 new so will he take £15 plus £5 delivery. Worth a try, just keep your fingers crossed he doesn't read this thread. At £20 you'd be able to resell it for about the same price on ebay if you don't like it. Any more than £20 for a secondhand one is too much I think. Alternatively you could always try a tank bag with a clear window on top.

Try this one item no:171025718975
-
just look for Givi satnav bag in google and you'll find loads of places. If you get one off ebay secondhand and don't like it, you'll always be able to sell it on and perhaps get your money back.

The Velcro straps just wrap around the handlebars, so no mount needed, quick to remove too.
-
Neither would I Lol, it was fine as long as you lean't over to the right when riding with no hands, although it was the buckled front wheel that was the bigger danger
-
Try one of these, they'll fit onto any handlebars http://i9.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/6e/6c/1d29_12.JPG

I've had bikes with bent frames in the past and they never failed an MOT. As long as the handlebars don't touch the frame or tank it should be ok. I had one bike that always veered over to the left, but the MOT station never spotted this because they never rode it.

My very own Stanav conversion

You could always do it yourself (it's a bit of a ball ache) and when you've got it all apart, use a very fine bit of emery paper over the scratch and make it as smooth as possible. This has worked for me in the past on pitted and scratched forks and is a hell of a lot cheaper than a re-chrome or new forks. You might even be able to do it without removing the forks. Also, in a way the shop didn't do anything wrong, you asked them to replace the seals and that's what they did.

where from? looked on ebay and its £90, plus I really need it on the road soon Try item number 111020297643, tell him its in bad condition and make an offer (Tell him you can buy a good one for £20). Once you win it, send it to Stu and tell him its your original and let Stu recondition it into a new one for you (It'll only cost you the postage!) Get it back, fix on to your bike and put your original caliper on ebay for £90, then treat Stu to a drink next time you see him
-
Alex, why go through all this when you can just buy a secondhand caliper for £20
-
First thing I'd check is the huge nut on the top of the yolk. Very easy to check and it cured a mysterious clunking on one of my bikes.
-
Just don't do what I did. I pulled over to get 10 minutes sleep and made the mistake of staying in the drivers seat. Next thing I know I'm dreaming I'm still driving and wake up with such a shock (i.e. shit myself!) Just not worth the heart attack!
-
Said they looked cr@p, which they did, I have never mentioned what the braking performance was like. Wasn't trying to be sarcy, its just you said you'd never compromise on performance, obviously you didn't mean that. All I was trying to do matty was give MrBarry some facts that nobody else mentioned, instead of the advice I was given, which was get racing disc's, they are the best. Same goes for pads too, some pads are great on a race bike when they are red hot all the time, but are rubbish when they are cold.

Bluetooth Helmet recommendations
Voodoo replied to RiffmasterII's topic in Clothing, Luggage, Accessories and Security
I've got a bluetooth helmet I wouldn't recommend (Duchinni D909), but when I come to replace it I'll definately be going for another bluetooth type helmet. The only reason I don't recommend it is the intercom is only really usefull upto 40mph, after that forget it. -
You're comparing whats best for racing against whats best for the road, two different things, besides anybody that knows anything about racing would be using carbon discs. Your right, the second you use the brakes they do clean up, but they don't clean the orange rusty watermarks off the wheels. So which make of iron disc's do you have on yours?
-
I know, but on a road bike they look rubbish. Manufacturers have spent a lot of time getting the best combination for road bikes. Just thought I'd mention it because its something I never thought of when I bought mine, all you hear is people saying get iron discs, they're mile better (which they are for a racing bike) and they fail to mention they rust in 5-10 minutes of standing in the wet.
-
Put a cheap pair of discs on one of my old bikes, ten minutes after washing the bike I'd regretted getting them, rust started to form within 10 minutes making the bike look cr@p. The bike manufacturers put a lot of effort into making sure this doesn't happen, as opposed to racing manufacturers who do not see this as an issue. Stick with OEM
-
You know better than that Fozzie, best way to get low down grunt is just get a bigger capacity bike. You could spend thousands just to end up with a bike that'll only go as good as a 750, when you could just go out and buy a 1000cc that'll have miles more grunt and cost less.
-
Done all of them, and even hit the sheep!

If you think WD40 is good, then try Wurth Dry Chain Lube, it looks similar, applies just the same but with a better nozzle and doesn't make a mess of your back wheel like other chain lubes. Try ebay to find the best deal. I bet once you've tried it, you'll never use anything else.
