It worked a treat on the many brass taps, handles and pipes on show in this fine old Victorian establishment. Dunno if the place is still there. Doubt it. Ah, they don't build loos like they used to.
Loo's arn't the same, but there's sure plenty of sh*t going round.
Thanks for the suggestions, will lookout for Belgom Alu'.
Its a sickening feeling though isn't it - watching the pride and joy tumbling away into apparent destruction.
I managed two trials from new before mine was christened - rearing up at the top of a steep hill before company was parted and it headed downhill at max revs - destined to kill at least three riders walking the section - before two small trees halted its progress and held it suspended upside down.
I have the same play on my B40, it's not a problem. I don't have a thrust washer there either. Only problem I can think of is if the play is excessive then the primary chain may wear the edge off the basket teeth.
not a beeza expert.. but the bearing comes into play when the clutch is pulled in with the engine running... so never come under load, a single row bearing will always have "play". not sure about the thrust washer tho.
Trust washer is available, but not sure if required, as you say. Under load the plates lock up and all forces are transmitted through the gear box shaft, I hope.
Working for the government I guess I'm lucky in many respects, safe guards over employment, good redundancy package if it came to that but I'd much rather be working. For all the complaints around the country about well off civil servants, don't believe that for a minute, if i didn't work shifts/weekends/shed loads of overtime my basic salary is crap, probably a hell of a lot less than many think. I haven't had a consolidated pay rise in 8 years now and ultimately demoted twice in the same period, management call it a regrading exercise but it's just a simple way of reducing the overall paybill. In my case, I'm fairly happy with my lot, I live somewhere I adore, we have just about enough to get by and I'll view the fairly good job security as a bonus for now, can't complain too much.
Some people are in industries and occupations that make things difficult no matter how hard they try and I have every sympathy for them but that doesn't cover everyone.
The way things stand we should be happy if we still have a job to go to. If you have a job bite the bullet, stop whining and stick it out because things will get better eventually. If you don't like your boss then work harder, get a new boss or become the boss yourself, you can't change things to your benefit if you sit on your a*** whining about it all the time.
Just changed my first tubless tyre at the weekend, really difficult to break the bead. After that it was so easy. Got a compressor so 80 psi to get it seated was no problem.
Would agree with comments re rim locks, tyres turning and pulling the valve stem, pinch punctures etc However, in actual use cant say I notice any difference in feel.
Would hate to have a puncture in the middle of nowhere with a tubeless.
Must be a pleasure as we have virtually 0% staff turnover and its been like that for years.
My comment above was drilled into me by my father. He always said if you work hard for a good boss, you will be appreciated. I have always found that. Never asked for a pay rise ever and done ok. I accept thats not always the case but just gave a view on my experience.
Sadly there are few like you (in my experience) Most of my pay rises working for a national company, came with promotions. Often promoted away from what I was good at !
Bonus were another incentive that month on month got harder and harder to achieve. Eventually I devised away to hold figures back so this wasn't such a problem, till I got caught.
Strangly enought, my director just laughed and told me not to do it again.
