  1. If hubs are worn you can get oversize shoes, if you need them pm me for contact details.
  2. How worn are the hubs ? Never had a problem with cable ? Is angle of brake arm approx 90degree to cable ?
  3. Hole in bash plates in the correct place on mine, sure it's in the wrong place on yours ?
  4. Don't forget, muscle is much heavier than fat, so your even further forward than you think !
  5. If you haven't discovered a friendly machine shop, nows the time. Give them the pedal, bolt and let them do the rest.
  6. Air cooled mono's are good value if you can find a well looked after one.
  7. Not normally a problem so should be plenty about, Martin M's your man.
  8. 163 yam a capable bike, if you think they are expensive, wait till you see the prices fantics are fetching.

    Two constructive comments in a row !!!
  14. Hi Paul, just had a look at milages. Calais - Ventoux 470m. Bilbao - Ventoux 593m Enjoy the skiing, where are you going ?
  15. Hi Tony, never heard of the centre of front wheel spindle to centre of footrest dimension before. Had to go straight out and check the bike I like the handling of, exactly 39". Good post.(wheelbase 53")
  16. With wider footrest you also get a greater degree of leverage, on small rests your foot could only pivot. I personally have "modernised" the position for comfort, wouldn't be surprised if the centre of gravity is much the same for a smaller rider in the original position, versus a taller rider in more modern position.
  17. Conventional / perceived wisdom of the day, not necessarily accurate.
  18. 83 frame, footrest as you say back and down. Brake pedal moved to allow swinging arm to drop for longer shocks. Paioli forks. Handlebars 6", just a funny angle.
  19. Hi Hamish, good speaking to you. What are the requirements for Ventoux, road registered, lights, brake lights. Pre 65, twin shock ? Enjoy the weekend. Ross

    Are Betors Better.

    Get a pair of Piaoli's, still 35mm and better than betor or marzocci, in my opinion. See your entered in the Pre80 next weekend, would you still be able to do that ?
