So, i go yo remove the wheel and the spindle is a bit tight, ill just bob the nut back on and give it a gentle tsp to pop it out, one thing lead to another and i fucked the nut and spindle right up, so today i had the old one re threaded and the only nut i could get is a focus rear hub nut, new dpindle and nut due Thursday.....great eh

Stuff like that always ends up happening when you have something planned to do on the bike remember last year my calliper bleed nipple started leaking 2 or 3 days before and no one had one local so ended up paying for next day delivery and got it just in time

[Bobtra69]

Was going to fettle bike on Monday but looks like its going to rain so Sat or sun for it. Cant go anywhere north of Leeds on Sat anyway cos of push bike race or something!

Needed brake pads and chain and sprockets before track day but no money so will have to destroy what I have on and hope for best. only one hard braking place at Teeside anyway so should be okay.

[JACKO71]

hope so matey....

[Bobtra69]

Certainly wont get out  braked by you, even with knackered pads on!

 

[Bobtra69]

Think it needs front discs as well...

[Jimbob]

You going to be going in hot a couple of times then... Best watch for you coming up the inside of me again lol

[Bobtra69]

Not ideal going to track day with all the things that I need doing but ran out time (and money), just bought new tyres for the ST....still at least its not cadwell.

[Bobtra69]

pads and discs EBC £324...

[JACKO71]

Just too much money all at once, might need front pads misen..
