It's the most action we've seen around here Comfy! Not saying folk should crash into you on a regular basis,but it's great reading.

Just re-ordered the same lever guards. The last ones were cheap 15 quid chinese jobbies but, , they did the job - the only thing that killed them was this accident. Theyve survived countless times hitting my garage door one side and the wall the other and, came with a spare set of guards also. Cant really fault that...they were on there for 6 years and the worst that happened to them was the orange anodising faded....

To a certain extent a bearing is a bearing to me... Unless they're ceramic...

It was either any old regular bearings or, ceramic - ceramic would have set me back about 250 and while i am going over the top on the rebuild ive got a garden to landscape at the moment also!!! (dont do things by half me) while im waiting just finished sledghammering a 50ft path, some old decking to dismantle and burn next along with a shit old shed at the same time...
Hoping ill get the phone call tomorrow or the next day for the wheels....i can make a start rebuilding then....

Yep - keep taking them out of the box to look at them. They were supposed to take the longest to get here (5 weeks quoted) now ive got those the whole build should be done alot quicker....hoping for this weekend for the Cerakoting and hopefully tomorrow for the wheels. Next week for the forks to be rebuilt.
