  1. I,m not sure on that, but it would definately have one or two spare holes in it like the valve hole where the tyre clamps would be. The front wheel will be tubed and you should see the tyre clamp bolt in the rim.
  2. There shouldnt be an inner tude in there mate, previous owner must have put a tube in to stop a puncture, the wheel should be a tubeless type unless the wheels wrong. Also you want between 2 and 4 in the rear tyre depending on the conditions, ten is way too hard. Have a look on the wall of the tyre, it should say tubeless on it, if it does there must be a hole in the existing tyre somewhere, a dog turd might seal it so you can do away with the tube altogether.

    no more than 6k and I think they will, I'm pretty sure people will make the stretch to 6k if it works half as good as it looks, I'll defo be getting one and be starting saving in January
  4. I had this problem with my 07 caby, the Braking pads worked well, think they are sintered,
  5. Zippy thanks for posting that mate, great find. Some nasty and big offs in there, got to hand it to them, fair play for having a go, and plenty of top names coming unstuck? makes you wonder just how hard those sections are
  6. Bit worrying that yes question 12 must get a pass
  7. I'm terrified of heights seen that vid before and nearly **** me pants Malcra, that pic looks like your crawling on the floor and turned it 90 degrees?
  8. Thanks 5again, not got the bike legal this year, but will be come January
  9. Struggle to buy TMX to be honest round here and nothing much on TC calendar or the ACU one, thought someone might know of a localish trial on this weekend. Haha Dave, need an easyish club trial Sunday not a full on mud and rev fest
  10. Jimmy, get a beader mate, you'll be kicking yourself once you get one
  11. As Dabster says, the compressor doesnt have to be huge to do the job, not sure what sizes are under 25 litres but its still good for other jobs like van/car tyres as well as the bike. Tyre beader is a must, got a rear tyre change down to minutes now
  12. Leanin, will have a look tomorrow in the shed and see if I still have the old set, could post them to you if you need to copy a set, theyre well worn but might do for a try for a few weeks
  13. Gaernes for me, although the last pair I bought did deteriate quite quickly, but they are well comfy. The Surgeon to date has managed to get 14 years out of his although he doesnt do much touching of the ground like me
  14. Thats bloody amazing some great quotes in there great find mate
  15. I,ve always used a 25 litre tank, holds enough to get a tyre blown on and stores easy. I recently got a 2.8kva genny for the van as well which will run the compressor incase of emergency tyre fitting at a trial or cleaning out carbs etc. Good price that 50 litre Paul
  16. I've had many a close call with this beast, had quite a large length of timber come loose from a jig and sent the wood into my upper arm at about mach 6 hit me so hard I thought it had broken it. Only been cut once on one though, again much pacing about holding my hand and too scared to take a look, good cut but all fingers in the correct postion. I beleive the table saw is the biggest injury machine in the US for home-owners, and I,m not surprised. The mighty bobbin sander can also remove plenty of material in one pass like the belt sander, it also removes skin and flesh at a much quicker rate if your a little distracted as I well know. Spindle moulder This tool needs much respect and concentration whilst using it, spins at about 20,000 rpm and has very large cutting blades that sometimes become invisible as its spinning so quick. I've not caught a finger yet as I'm bloody terrified of the thing, but have had the odd blade/cutter break on me and they can go anywhere at very high speed, much ducking and checking of torso for shrapnell soon follows 2kg Lump Hammer Good strong and very usefull tool for impacting objects, now this one reminds me of last January when it was bloody freezing outside. I was fitting a door frame and needed to drift the frame into a rebate in the wall, like a good chap I used a block of wood against the frame where I was going to hit it, I was concentrating so hard on making sure i hit the block of wood,not the frame, I smacked my hand where I was holding it, huge cut running up the side of my finger where it squashed it and yet again much pacing about and squealing before I dare look, 4 temp stitches to bond it together and sore for weeks. Circular Saw Very usefull portable saw, never ever tie up the safety guard, Pliers Now this one was just plain stupid. Was using a small drill bit to drill out the infamous tiny rev 3 air box bolts that had rounded off, drilled the bolt and went to fit a lrger drill bit to finish the job, the drill chuck wouldnt release so I put the drill between my knees and got a set of pliers to wriggle and pull the drill bit out of the chuck (drill bit pointing up to me) after much grunting and twisting the bugger came free very qucikly and went straight through my chin into my gum I'm not sure why the pacing around in circles works so well in these circumstances but it does seem to help,
  17. classic that zippy idmcc, the tool list brings back lots of memories lol, some very very recent I was using a percussion drill yesterday with a very large auger bit, the bit jammed and twisted my wrist nearly 360 degrees in about 0...1 seconds, loud crack and much pacing around the site holding it for a few minutes, nothing broke though luckily, I can just about think of all those tools and tell a story Mate of mine was using an electric planer, wasnt adjusted enough so....like you would with a normal hand held planer you run your thumb over the blade to see how sharp it is and how far out of the block it comes, hmmm of course with the electric planer switched on and spinning at about 20,000 rpm it soon whipped the face off his thumb and onto the wall
  18. Is that your house Mark? looks amzaing mate
  19. nice one but a little to clever for anyone at RBS
  20. Nice post mate, all sadly very true, a good reminder of how things have gone and quickly at that
