Re: Oh the blueness of it all!!!
You, Sir, have the head of a Richard.Kev L wrote:New Boots & Panties -
Had some new Dunlop Sportmax qualifiers fitted to my freshly powder coated six spokes. Fitted the rear wheel -
The front needs a bit of fettling before fitting. I have custom made spacers, thanks to Mark (GL_S_R, who is a God amongst men!!!), which I, being a Richard, have specified 2mm oversize. I therefore need to get them shaved by a mm each side. Does look nice though -
Be comforted, however, by the satisfaction of knowing that I, too, have the head of a Richard, due to the inescapable fact that my retractable Stanley 5M measuring tape proved inadequate for the job of measuring clearances between wheel and fork leg by (squinty) eye.
However, I remain superior, Sir.
I asked Mark, (saint, god of CNC etc) to merely make another set of revised (2nd guess) measurements. And so I have a lovely, gloatworthy and tactile set which, although they don't fit, are lovely to touch and feel.
Tactile, that's what they are.
Useless, but tactile.

And not blue at all.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
Re: Oh the blueness of it all!!!
.....and thereby lies their failing! Without blue they are mere nothing. They will fit when shaved by a minge whisker!

Re: Oh the blueness of it all!!!
Colour? Pah.
A mere opinion as to hue and reflective index.
You are, of course, entitled to hold an opinion that may have little merit and which is widely derided, should you so choose. It's a free world.
Baloo? Wasn't that the carefree but overweight and clumsy bear in the Jungle Book?
Your turn.

Re: Oh the blueness of it all!!!
I thought your retort would be directed toward the minge whisker (ooooh err) but just goes to show you are fixated by your blindness to a decent hue. I'm sure if you used a shirt or some other rag and rubbed it over that two wheeled compost heap of yours, you may well find a colour, if a very unattractive one, underneath!

Nope, I have no axe to grind over minge whiskers.

Re: Oh the blueness of it all!!!
Took the spacers in today to have the "minge whisker" removed from both of them. Front wheel now fitted -

Cat likes them -

So does Flo!-

I may now have a pair of three spokes to relocate, the rear one is a VTR and the front a 954 Blade one both sprayed in a Bronze shade (see earlier photo's of the bike) not a bad match for each other.
