  1. mitch bigger tyres doesn't mean better handling (if that's what you are after) it has to work with the correct frame/steering geometry.

    I think they used to bike as a template, although I have a manky unrestorable one if needs be.
  5. I was driving down a steep hill in a remote village last year and what comes the other way but a unicyclist, puffing and panting up the hill.

    make sure they have the correct end caps on, they changed them 1980. you can get down pipes made out of stainless but they'll be single wall and will blue.
  9. For some time many of us have wondered just who is Jack Schitt? We find ourselves at a loss when someone says, 'You don't know Jack Schitt!' Well, thanks to genealogy efforts, you can now respond in an intellectual way. Jack Schitt is the only son of Awe Schitt. Awe Schitt was married to O. Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, and owner of Needeep N. Schitt, Inc. They had one son, Jack. In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt. The deeply religious couple produced six children: Holie Schitt, Giva Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Bull Schitt, and the twins Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt. Against her parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout. After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe Schitt later married Ted Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was then known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock. Meanwhile, Dip Schitt married Loda Schitt, and they produced a son with a rather nervous disposition who was nick-named Chicken Schitt. Two of the other six children, Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt, were inseparable throughout childhood and subsequently married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The wedding announcement in the newspaper announced the Schitt-Happens nuptials. The Schitt-Happens children were Dawg, Byrd, and Horse. Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned from Italy with his new Italian bride, Pisa Schitt.

  14. it would be a slide hammer i suspect. to pull the shaft out. a bolt screwed in and a few taps outwards should dislodge it. just don't go mad as you'll bend the shaft. also use a forked peice of rod under the bolt head and tap on that to keep things square
  15. my father in law got killed by a trucker and he got, well, a day in court and allowed to continue to drive with a slapped wrist. this may or may not help seeing as 2 year diving ban was mandatory ( clearly it wasn't in my case)
  16. how can you compress the valve spring if the rocker isn't removed? I suggest you get a manual and read the steps before rushing into the job
  17. check haynes for any model numbers. Bs34 etc
