Thanks folks, not a lot in it - just eat less Mary Berry cake

Thanks mate, anyone have fat bar weight?

Does anyone know respective weights of the traditional bars with cross brace compared to fat bars?

.

Domed alloy washers, rubber tube through frame to stop vibration, alloy through shaft, good enough.

Bondy Are you not using the beautiful alloy ones I sweated making for you? Vibration free, light weight etc etc

Looks good

What's the finish on the fork legs Bondy? Spray?

No head gasket, there is a spigot atop the cylinder liner with concentric grooves to help seal

Titanium wouldn't rust

I also have them as described by millerme with the springs backed off a little and a venhill cable - one finger action works great

Very nice, like the exhaust and the tool is lovely job

I rode it in a trial

I love it that these are hand built in limited numbers. Any commercial business is expected to continuously grow, if the owner is satisfied without the pressure of having to grow quickly then all the better. Reminds me of the new nortons a few years back.

Thank, that explains a lot. This one is 11x48 and feels too high geared. Cheers

How many teeth on final drive and rear wheel sprocket for standard 247 please? Anyone and opinion on better combination? Thanks

198b Trial in Wales (Classic Foel) a couple of years ago.

Bit of rock practice at the VMCC trial today.

Im helping a friend with a Cota 25 vintage kids bike, does anyone know oil quantities for gearbox and primary drive? thanks!

Think I must be losing my mind...I have just become the newest member of the 'I made an alloy sidestand from an old pair of handlebars' club. Need to get out more...

Ive definately had one (198B) which only had the one seal per leg. I have had 198Bs with no split or pinch bolt - I wonder if this was more about them being not finished them rather than by design.

Yes, it should all be in one piece (both flywheel cheeks with the sprocket in the centre. It looks like your outer flywheel cheek has been machined down -ts smaller than a sherpa which has both cheeks the same diameter - I may be wrong as ive never worked on an Alpina. It also looks like they tried to balance it - see the holes drilled in it. Suggests they knew what they were doing. I'd just get another one - reasonably easy to find..

Just used the standard spring and some lockwire. Very small cuts (0.05 - 0.1mm with a sharp tool.

Skim like this... note: the 3 in 1 oil in the picture is not desirable on the shoes!!!

recent Red Rose trial.
