Midlands worshop day 2012 - 21st July

[VTRDark]

Oh all right then, you can take a hammer to my bike. The back tyre will do.

Seriously though, I can always find something. Just thought there might be a rush of people wanting work done and an extra bike will just overcrowd things.

I could get some Hyperpro springs or equivalent and do my forks. It would be good to have help with that as Suspension set up is my weak point. With lots of body's there it would make it simple getting the right sag with me sitting on the bike. Who's good with measurements We could also work out the sag on the rear om one, so I can set it on the appropriate setting.

And if I do go down the fork upgrade route, do you have a fork seal driver?

I have a fork seal driver Carl. You can always pick it up and take it with you if needed.

In other words you wont be able to make this one.

Lets see what happens, I may take you up on that offer thanks.

Not sure fella, can't make the Purfleet one so might be up for this one. Have to see how it goes.

Sounds great - ill check diaries. P has a bottom yoke to swap. I need head bearings and also have a cartload of goodies - inc flywheel. More importantly can bring biscuits, poor advice and sarcasm....

hammers, tap & die set, hammers,

It sort of turned into a "bring your bike and I'll service it free of charge for you" thing, which wasn't at all what I had in mind. Mac's was very good, we had owners knocking seven bells out of their own bikes mostly.

I agree with you, when you done my CCTS, I kinda felt bad, because you done most of the work and I am more than capable of doing it myself, but I was gratefull, I was glad as well that I was left to do most of the work on grainstorm, with you looking over my shoulder every now and then to see if I was OK and helping with the crucial bits.

I just had more feelers in my feeler gauge set......

Any more people interested in doing jobs on their bikes at a workshop day?

[VTRDark]

Where's all you midlanders/northerners I thought you would all scream at the chance for a workshop day.

I could use it is an opportunity to fit some braided brake lines thinking about it

I could do with checking valve clearances, I can do mid July onwards weekend-wise if no dates have been set already
