Yeah I stopped wearing mine ages ago. Only use on holidays in Europe. Especially after a cop pulled up next to me at lights and gave me a mouthful for Amber gambling tearing thru a box junction and said if it wasn't for him having to get somewhere he'd take my camera and review the footage for charg...

Yes to be fair is very rewarding feeling after you've done it for the first time. My front wheel felt perfect riding back to London. Am gob smacked. Definitely pays for itself after a couple fittings.. And can now feel confident buy tyres online at bigger discount and not have to pay fitting fees. B...

Follow up .. That cheap bead breaker was useless.. Ready for the skip.. Need to spend on a decent one unfortunately. I used my knee on the front tyre and had to take rear to garage to break bead for me.. Looking at the abba one for 65 quid. But yet to see what recommendations are

What equipment and what method did you use Rickster? I'm also interested in how easy (seating problems aside) you found it and how much your gear cost? I'll post up photos mate. All in all very cheap considering the cost saving in long run in addition to gain some skills I guess. But in a nut shell...

Nice one mate thx feel bit better now. Was considering riding to garage delicately then removing valve pin then blasting with compressor. Now I'll just leave it

Only put wd40 on bead and rim edge was a Bugger to put on

Have to ride back to London Monday with no pop sound on bead.. But to honest it looks mint..

Yeah mate is inner tube and plastered in wd40 in addition to tyre mounting wax... But reading d41 post above now I'm nervous hmmmm

Checked the tyre both sides and spun it on the balancer and all looks true and seated from inspecting he walls... Is this possibly safe or ...

Was there any resolve...?

You change your own chain and sprockets or just sprockets Chain and sprockets I'm wanting to take the plunge and start trying to change my own chain and sprockets.. Despite experience of splitting bicycle chains in my youth it doesn't quite feel the ...

Hmm well I try [emoji16]

Yeah lube it a every thousand or so but never clean it

Any thoughts on chain replacements and the cost difference between for example DID upgrade DID heavy duty DID Extreme There's about £50-£60 difference between the upgrade and extreme chain and sprocket sets For joe blogg who isn't racing or thrashing everyday.. Is there any benefit of the extra £60....

Hello mate. I pretty much cover my bike with the stuff apart from brakes! Yes keep well away from brakes as this stuff is really good at making them not work :) after having found out I had overspray :) Best stuff ever for or venting corrosion but does leave a slight greasy type film. But that's why...

I lock wired my r1 grips and to be honest using them lock wire pliers is an art ... Lol I did a better job the old fashion method ie using normal long nose pliers...
