You can gently tap a Stanley knife blade in between the crown race and the fork to open up a gap to enable you to something more substantial in there. Its not a nice way to do it, but its one way of doing it if you don't have the correct tools

Thank you for the reply! Ping me a private message, let’s talk if you want them!

Just wondering what these are worth, I've looked around at previous for sale threads and prices vary massively. I need to put them up for sale, but don't want to price them wrongly. These seem to work well, they don't leak air, unfortunately they have been robbed of their titanium brake posts...

I'm sorry you've had issues, but as previously mentioned, from my own personal experience, I have no problem recommending him.

Really? I've been using Steve for years and never had anything other than great work with a super quick turnaround.

Nope, we only use Steve at Acorn, always a fantastic service!

Bad luck there, although easily repairable, hopefully you can find someone local to do the repair, if you can't we could easily turn it around in the same day for you, although you would have to ship the bike to us here in Norfolk. Fingers crossed you can find somebody closer but we are here if...

I always used an old 2p to put in the slot. There isn’t much cash around these days, not sure if a bitcoin would do the trick?

Yeah, I’ll have to have a look to see if they are stock from the nemo tube set or if they were shaped by the builder. They look cool, but they neck down where the tyre will be so actually reduce clearance!

I just picked up this Guyzer frame locally. I probably paid too much for it and I’m sure it’s going to be too small for me, but it was too interesting to pass up. Came with a decent condition SID with a nice long steerer but without the shock pump adaptor. It’s a nice little fillet brazed...

I had a similar thing when I went to my local motor factors to buy a new set of points for my 1978 VW Polo. The kid in there had no idea about points, ignition, distributor cap etc. He had never heard off them, he called his manager to assist, who also had no idea what I was talking about! We...

City Jets sold, everything else still up for grabs

Anyone have any CK odds and sods? I have a bunch of spare bearings etc, so potentially trying to collate a full headset using anyones leftovers. Its for a rat bike, so any colour would work for me, actually the more multicoloured the better, Its cups and upper nearing cover I'm after really. I...
