Wheels & tyres

[lloydie]

The wheel and tyre and discs have them arrows and the all need to point the same way :-)
Nice and simple fix

Yep. When re-fitting wheels, I'd matched disc direction with tyre direction as bike shop already put tyres on wheels!

It's a shame as I'm happy with the bike shop otherwise.

All done then. It just goes to show we should double check things when we have tyres fitted and point out the directional arrows to them.

Agreed!

A few pics of mine after its tyres/wheels/cans and rim decals have been applied today:



And a cheeky quick video of the cans. Never does them justice but fun to post all the same!!













The bike is now at a good point, short of carb tuning it (next years (early) project/expense!), I am real happy with it!

Looking very clean. I like the rim decals I've been meaning to get some but I shall wait until I get my wheels powdercoated first. One of my projects for next year.

Have you put the cap back on your coolant overflow as it's off in the pics.

Carl, yep I had yellow wheel rim tape on my previous coloured wheels (grey) and looked ok, different but with these newly powder coated wheels I wanted the rim stickers - I really like them!

And yes, coolant cap back on!!!

Good spot. I know the tyre direction is forward so tyres must have been installed in
wrong direction. I'll have a look when I'm back on sun & take back to bike shop Monday. Ta! Griff.

I believe there is a wheel direction mark aswell-though the spokes angle is the giveaway!

What a Richard head that shop guy is then, can you get a money off vouchers for you next tyres as he's caused you some trouble.
260 fitted off the bike is expensive for PR3 as well, I took mine on the bike and that was only 260, plus 50 quid discount so 210 with the Michelin offer.
