cheers for the link, didnt even know what bobbins where before! i'll give that a go at the weekend

just finnished cleaning mine, all the alloy bits are starting to show corrosion all ready , think i'll just leave them and paint the footpegs etc black next year.

Just watch out for the gypsies who set up camp on these routes. Between Wadddington and Sleaford way too, the...
