I love stuff like that!
Shows that some of us are still alive and not following the herd.

I am with SR, as soon as a disc version of a Dyno hub was available I bought one,a deore xt , it has done 10's of thousands of off road miles,been fully submerged in river crossing's , touch wood, still going strong, (I have never serviced it !) As SR also states,it works at very low speeds, critica...

There is nothing wrong with playing music at low volume ,we all enjoy it. However, excessive volume is inappropriate except within a club, building or festival imo. it can lift ones spirit during appalling weather or tiredness etc when riding,driving, walking etc. just saying,there's a time and plac...

Is there anything more ridiculous?

Perhaps it's the look at me thing?

Probably wannabe honda gold wing owners!

"But the weird thing is it was in full view when I took the pic - but it's not in the pic!!! Trialling some new Thunderbirds/StarTrek-style cloaking device????"

Funny that ,when I took a photo of it flying over, it had t transformed in to kestrel!

you Could try to weld a bit of studding to centre of the depression and use the studding as a slide hammer to pull out the depression then cut off the studding and grind weld off,then paint . I have repaired damaged tubes on bull bars in this way . The best way to do it is immediately after welding ...

Oh dear TBD! I can sympathize with you. I have had a few friends whom have had bad experiences with ducatis. Mine however have all been very good. I still have a high mileage 1994 900ss, I admit I use my Guzzi California stone 02 the most,then the Guzzi V11 sport. Ducati only occasionally, cycling t...

Splashed out as I hopefully will be getting a newish iron horse soon! (Feeling flush,(even though being paid peanuts) got two temporary jobs sorting parcels for two courier companies in the early mornings) 3 primal tops,a pair of MTB shorts and a MTB hoodie* * I won't be breakdancing or caterpilleri...

Sugar! Forgot to stick to the point! Generally speaking from experience, Take cycle groupsets, Midrange represents good engineering and value,ie. Deore LX/XT or 105/ultegra against XTR OR Dura Ace, At high end ,the returns are diminished, a much higher price, a fractional weight loss, barely percept...

Re shonky engineering. I am biased towards Italian cars and bikes ,and admit it's nearly always the ancillaries that let them down , amazingly,some are German or Japanese parts on Italian bikes. Having a motorcycle dealership upto 2004 ,the big four Japanese manufacturers made some schoolboy enginee...

Lots of childhood memories on this website. Used to cycle to sundon and Barton pits. They were sort of still active. Used get chased out by police occasionally. But great places to have fun. Arlesey pits was another. Not quite in the Welsh or Cornwall scale of quarry ,but fun all the same. Took the ...

If AF not bought rear wheel. I could be interested in whole bike . What year is the bike?

Nice build BDS!
Silent freewheels....magic!
I have spent hours trying to quieten freehubs ,
I have serviced hope hubs ,nice engineering ,but,far too noisy!
Stealth is cool!

Hurrah! Except I have never had a dynohub failure.(As much as I enjoy dismantling stuff and repairing them) Even cheap unbranded ones! I have six bikes with dynohubs, my everyday work/shopping hack has an unbranded one used in all weathers from the early 90's. As soon as Shimano made a disc version ...

Is it possible to email frame manufacturer and ask for more precise bearing type and sizes required?
Unfortunately, steering bearing combinations are numerous.

Perfect James!
That titanium one is very appealing.
Although the aluminium ones with spouts are very cheap! Have you tried one?

FATF BOND BUG!! When was that last used! Last one I saw running was about 2000! Any thoughts on a resurrection? My brother owned an ss50. We tried to graft on a c90 head,barrel and piston,... wasn't going to happen! However,we got a C70 head,barrel and piston to fit literally straight on! The perfor...

Down south we use the expression "a ton of.".. To describe a large quantity.

I now know where it originates from!
