2 Wheels Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 Front caliper Bars stripped,,,,,, after snapping a bolt in the rear wheel i was being carfull not to damage the presious bar clamps,,,,,dont want to be buying new ones ! Forks stripped,,,,,,,,almost !!!,,,,,,,, again carfull so i wont have ta buy new top an bottom yokes,,,,,these pieces are small and fragile. I say almost because,,,,,, i dont Yet see any way of taking the stanchions outa the lower legs. I thaught there might be a circlip's or something there when i removed the dust seal,,,,but no. Theres no nut or anything down the inside of the stanchions either. The forks are basic,,,,lower leg, spring, stanchion,,,,,,thats is, no oil or nothing. I just hope the spring wasnt put in as the forks were being made,,then the bottom lugs for the wheel welded on,,,,if this is the case then there is no way inside for me to clean an free things up !!! Some of the things on this bike are wierd,,,like the forks, and every single nut and bolt has thread-lock on them. Me is a thinkin these bikes werent meant to be takin apart after they were built,,,,,,,,,,,, they prob think people just throw them away when there bored with them...... HA HA,,,,,,, BUT NOT MY MINI BIKE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
