wallace Posted October 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Could be your connection or just the internet was busy Matt, but I never had any problem with it. Much cheapness though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 (edited) Stop bickering about who was first you two! Dabster you're too old for her, let the poor lad have a chance And by the way, that site didn't seem that cheap. That's top whack for tyres isn't it? And postage doesn't seem to be free for everyone? I must admit I've not looked at too many of the other prices, but just the few I looked at seemed fairly average. ****Had to edit this one - there are some good prices in there, tyres are fairly average, but I just ordered some other kit tonight.**** Edited October 28, 2004 by Bikespace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc2002 Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 What the hell are these? Ive never seen them before, how do they/it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
social climber Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 They're a teflon coated piece of plastic. You wrap them around your bar under your lever perch in case you're too thick to leave the bolts slightly slack to allow for rotation of the lever in a fall.........

wallace Posted October 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Nice avatar wallace, seems very familiar (yamaha dude) Sorry mate but its the only pic I have of the bike I just bought You could sue me for copyright or plagiarism or something Or, I could substitute it for a picture of my butt but I do'nt think you'd like it. On a more serious note, I,m having a wee bit of trouble getting that rear tyre to fall into the rim. One side is ok but the other side has about 15 inches that wont line up. I squirted lots of Fairy liquid on and blew it up to 45lb but the bugger just will not budge that last wee bit. Any suggestions anyone?

nigel dabster Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Use tyre soap and 60 psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky boy Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Yup just more air Wallace!! Never used tyre soap, just good old fairey and blow the bugger up till she pops on. I usually go to 70psi ish , once she pops then youve got enough in, watch yer eyes for flying fairey though!!! I once had me eyes filled when the tyre popped on and fairey exploded into my face !! Not good , especially when you try and wash yer eyes so that you can see again and all you do is make bubbles!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 watch yer eyes for flying fairey though!!! I once had me eyes filled when fairey exploded into my face !! I'm going to resist the temptation On a similar subject, I got my beader from Spain. Nice little bargain, only 17 euros.........plus 30 bloody euros for P&P No way of telling the postage when you checkout, they add it afterwards. Once bitten twice shy. Just noticed that these lot sell them for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikespace Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Ahhhhhh....Beader!!!! This inch thick rubber is giving me problems. Just as I get to the point where I think everything's going to pop, it slips out and it's back to square one. Tried it with and without lubrication now and the same result. No inuendo intended much Scrapped it for the night, need to get the big compressor on it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
