And today I did......

[clockworkgazz]

fitted a new BB to the splatter (no wonder I was a donkey at Ae, the old one was seized solid ) new salsa flip lock and yellow grips for the yo

but then buggered it all up by breaking the bolt in the salsa stem- anyone good at getting the bottom half of the bolt out, which is now stuck in there? :evil:

Also went for a 15min run, well within sub-bender tolerance limits!

touched up the chips on the roady today - take it later to the bike shop to have the handlebars wrapped as I don't want to screw it up. Still looking for a seat for it.

Yellow grips sound ropey :? have you thought about white ourys?

Get some releasant into that stem bolt/quill. Should come out quite easy. Tap it up the steerer.

Anything under an hour is in the bender zone, you've read the instructions wrong as per...

Today the car broke down :evil: looks like the idler/tensioner bearing has went. Had to get towed home and I've a feeling this will no be cheap to fix. Gone are my days of spannerin under the bunnet.

My winter smoker Alfa did that last week. Seized idler due to lack of use. Ended up changing the cam belt, tensioner, idler, balance shaft belt and tensioner and the drive belt, idler and tensioner. Total came to £392. Add that to the £650 it cost to get it through an MOT last month, £100ish for tax. Bastard thing is only worth about £700.

feckin cars eh? waste of bike money :evil:

Aint that the truth, their designed so that no DIY'er can do anything to them. Hence my interest in pre 90's cars and motorbikes :?
