    Yeah might be worth a try, If you do find something dont rush into buying any without also knowing the fixing bolt sizes (length and diameter) and ask the seller if the springs would be suitable for your lightweight bike.

    Have you tried 'Googling' the centre to centre measurement Simon? What is that measurement?

    But they werent chromed and being re-chromed...they were zinc and in for re-zincing. I bet zinc is gone in a flash, some of this stuff looks like it was pickled in acid half the day. Looks like they have not done the slightest polishing and preparing and yes the photos are good and even show up the rust underneath that the naked eye (least mine) would struggle to see.

    I havent sent them a complaint yet because I will go to another company first to get confirmation that it is all chrome plate. I cannot get to the other place until Friday at the earliest.

    This is the work of a professional plating company, and as far as I can see it is chrome...not zinc as asked for. The finish was no way like this when I handed the parts over.

  25. Tom so you are just 17 and a learner with an A1 category licence therefore you should be riding a restricted bike until you pass your test. if you find out the reason for this apparent lack of performance is due to any restriction the manufacturer did you will void your insurance if you remove it. Not what you wanted to hear I know My link
