Couple of comments, without wishing to wind anyone up. The comments about not buying cheap tyres, I understand, but please remember modern tyres have a MASSIVE performance envelope and I would say (and yes it's a guess) from my experience only 5% of riders are using the full capability of their tyre...

If you've never welded before I wouldn't even attempt it, but for something like that I'd rather replace the shaft, sorry! Well thats not a very can do attitude... Its had a washer welded in place before to hold the circlip in place before being removed to put another sprocket on. no other option a...

You wouldn't be able to change the sprocket, and you would be amazed how quick that sprocket will wear once you can't change it. New shaft would be best but tapping it and putting a bolt on the end is certainly feasible. some bikes use a bolt and washer there anyway. You might need to run a drill th...

Yup. Caliper off, strip it apart and do a rebuild. get a caliper rebuild kit from wemoto it's only a few quid and it's a really easy job.

My local coating guy does them, you just have to mask the right bits.

Stripped and powdercoated for me.

Top bloke. Titax levers turned up mega quick, well packed.

Cheers dude.

I have found an alternative way to lose the weight.

I have lost nearly two stone in the last couple of months, saved a fortune on kebabs and spent zero on unobtanium parts.

I reckon that's a win win!

Reckon that's about 5 batteries worth?

Yeah, it's obviously scripted, but I still think it's hilarious. The last two series the episodes have been a bit hit and miss, but there's always a few that have me in complete hysterics.

Just to clarify, are these a direct fit on my bog standard 2000 storm?

Quite interested.

Thanks.

Sounds very like when my reg rec started to go.

That's not great. Usually caused by an accident stretching the hole.

I've started doing my own, did a bit of research, made a stand, got a magnetic dial gauge and some good nipple wrench's and away I go. lacing wheels for my mate who builds customs and it's going well.
