Thanks for all the help and info, I got some that were almost spot on. Thanks to John Bull of Rockshocks fame. I can't see why anybody that is experimenting with shocks would use any thing else ! They work really well and are easy to change in lenght, action, spring rate etc. And, if you were to damage any single bit it is replaceable. I have no connection to John, but over the years have found him to be incredibly helpful.

£6k ? Lucky if they got the asking price!

Or earth slack ?

Martin, have you swapped a later clutch centre (missing out the last plate presumably) into an earlier clutch ?

Part no for the 6 friction, 6 steel basket is 292 180. Can you measure the thickness of a barnet plate, I will find a standard one to compare. Edited to show correct no of plates.

I was told by a 175 owner (from New and still owns it) that the crank was different to the 250, so not as easy a swap ?

Have you checked / adjusted the screw behind the plastic cover just in front of the kick start ? (The 1980 parts book shows 6 friction and 6 steel, 5 @ 1mm 1 @ 1.5mm. Climber shows 6 friction 5 steel, for what it's worth) I use 3 of the lightest springs and 3 medium, doesn't slip untill you drop it in 4th, I also currently use 5 30 oil. Edited to show correct no of plates.

I would walk, no run, away.

I can see you sticking pins in a map, amongst other things !

"Source" from where water spouts.

"SWM default reply" is that thank you in your language ?

Hope !

Sounds a bit ambitious !

You talking about me ?

Do you give the carb time to fill before you try and start it ?

Was trials that health before they attempted to resuscitate it ?

Never heard of the "Bleach Boys " ? Chinese tribute band.

What made you assume I was referring the the twin shock being at a disadvantage ?

Thanks, Ile have a look.

Thanks, I wanted confirmation of that. I will try the widest I can get with packers and see how it goes. Thanks again.

I am hoping to install spherical bearings on my shocks, but can't match od, id, and width with anything. The question is, if I mounted 2 spherical bearings on the same shaft, side by side, would this work ? The combined width of two bearings is the overall width I am trying to achieve. Thanks
