  1. There looks like there is a brand new caliper on evilbay right now for £30. LINKY
  2. You must of pushed the pistons back to get the pads to fit over the disks. Are you saying that the piston is not moving now? Has it been bled properly? The pneumatic pressure from the hydraulics should move a piston quite easily if the piston has already moved to accommodate new pads. For tyres, my rule of thumb is Spokes = Tube Cast = tubeless Not 100% accurate but very close. Some tubeless tyres can be used with a tube but normally tubeless tyres are quite rough inside and will burst a tube.
  3. I'm glad all those Christmas crackers came in handy. Theory 1 - Rain is magnatised to tits. Theory 2 - Never trust a driver who wears a hat - especially a baseball one or a flat cap. Theory 3.Eagles may soar, but weasels do not get sucked into jet engines Theory 4: Do not wind the handle whilst your balls are in the mangle Theory 5: Man who run in front of car gets tiered but man who run behind car gets exhausted! Theory 6: It take many a nail to make a crib but only one screw to fill it. Theory 7: Man who walk 'round with hand in pocket always feels a little cocky.
  4. I have a set of wheels being respoked at the moment. so for future reference: Stainless rim Stainless spokes new nipples Hub painted new seals new tubes new rim tape new tyres all times 2 is going to be around £600.

  6. This may help while you get a manual. Pick your year LINKY Headlight LINKY
  7. They don't look too bad but take the advice from the previous 2 posts. Be careful of what you can't see. Rot around the inside of the rim holes where the spokes go through.
  8. Don Don't tell George Michael
  9. More speed cameras. More compulsory hi vis. No bike mods. Bigger number plates. Lower speed limits for bikes. Ban 2 strokes. Increase the minimum age to 25. Reduce the maximum age to 40. That should stop ROSPA Kev from being disturbed.
  10. :lol: :lol: Who would have a dodgy 'tash like that?
  11. I doesn't tell us anything apart from the number being down and it is around 1 a day. Just to put numbers into perspective; Death rates from VTE in hospital Each year over 25,000 people in England die from venous thromboembolism (VTE) contracted in hospital. This is more than the combined total of deaths from breast cancer, AIDS and traffic accidents, and more than 25 times the number who die from MRSA. 2009 death figures for England and Wales - click to zoom. M/c in red.
  12. OK John . I have already picked up a classic Lewis leather jacket in great condition. I just hope the bike is ready. I have an AGV flip and have had open face helmets before so I know it hurts. Worse for me is the lorries as they seem to pump out sand from somewhere which sandblasts my face. Having already headbutted a pigeon a while ago, which left me concussed, I will always be ready to duck quicker.
  13. I do have the same problem.
  14. I know what you mean. I had a Givi demi open face helmet and that felt so different.
  15. I am really hankering after one of these AGV RP60 - comes with a peak and some snazzy goggles. Any views - apart from not wearing an open face lid?
  16. Hi and welcome to the forum Matt.
  17. Did Stevie Nicks really say "no blow, no show"? I love a little 2 tone, Stax and most reggae. Good old Dolly Parton and some other country stuff is in the mix. Shaggy to opera. Buddy Holly. a mix of 50's, 60's and '70's, not forgetting a bit of glam rock. Simon and Garfunkel. UB40. Bon Jovi. Dire Straits. The specials. Plus about another 1000 singers/bands where I like one of their songs. Really dislike Techno, techno techno techno (say it to the beat) and drum & bass.

    New style MOT

    :lol: If that wasn't close to the truth it would be funny. Don't the advisories show online? The SV got 3; Rear tyre close to limit - I knew that (changed for the last MOT). Rear brake pads close to limit - I knew that too Chain slightly lose - I also knew that. With the weather we are having at the moment the tyre and brake pads might last another 2 years .
  19. Don't forget mobile library's.
