  1. Sounds like the work of a luddite.
  2. I really enjoyed the event, kinda glad I was on a modern bike though. Also really glad I was wearing a helmet having hit a branch hard at section 13 (?) Ross

    Trust washer is available, but not sure if required, as you say. Under load the plates lock up and all forces are transmitted through the gear box shaft, I hope. Thanks Alan Anybody (Wayne) wish to confirm.

    Hi BJ No problems at all, just noticed the movement while checking the primary chain tension. Ross
  12. Got quote from MSN, and like others, was approx 4 times the cost of my present policy.
  13. Dont worry, someone will, if required.

    If any debris doesnt come out with the oil its probably not circulating the engine anyway. I'd stick with regular changes.

    Just changed my first tubless tyre at the weekend, really difficult to break the bead. After that it was so easy. Got a compressor so 80 psi to get it seated was no problem. Would agree with comments re rim locks, tyres turning and pulling the valve stem, pinch punctures etc However, in actual use cant say I notice any difference in feel. Would hate to have a puncture in the middle of nowhere with a tubeless.
  17. Sadly there are few like you (in my experience) Most of my pay rises working for a national company, came with promotions. Often promoted away from what I was good at ! Bonus were another incentive that month on month got harder and harder to achieve. Eventually I devised away to hold figures back so this wasn't such a problem, till I got caught. Strangly enought, my director just laughed and told me not to do it again.

    Got a new clutch basket and centre + roller bearings. Still exactly the same (old basket was worn from friction plates anyway) Was looking at Rupert Ratios book again and it mentions a thrust washer between drum and flange. Mine has never had one, and looking for one on the trialsbits site it's not listed. Any suggestions for a suppier ? Thanks Ross C & D autos have bi-metalic (bronze/steel) thrust washer @ 6 thou, but it isn't listed for this model. Is this slight rock really a problem ?
  19. Must be a pleasure working for you, your a rare commodity.
  20. Go self employed - that way you only have to work for one ass*ole. (worked for me - so far)
  21. Try Alan Whitton (race engineering) 01246 419 805
  22. Paint mudguard black / yellow, stick on letters & numbers.
