Nothing ruins a Beautiful sunny warm morning like walking up to my bike and seeing a completely flat front tire. -Insert pout here- Yes it was worn out but couldnt it have waited untill the snow started falling???? Whaaaaaaaaaaa | ||

Better flat at home than flat on the side of the road. | ||

Or flat mid knee-dragging curve. | ||

...Or after you're done with work, tired and last to leave the workplace. | ||

Sure beats seeing this:  ...and this:  ...then this:  | ||

OUCH rick. ive been there and thats no fun at all. just dont crack the head with an EZ-out like i did. | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
When I broke one of those studs I didn't have any ez-outs so I drilled it then ground a taper on an allen key, hammered it in & got the bit out. | ||

It's already out. I used an offset hole, punch, applied some penetrating lube and heat to loosen her up, then drilled a big shallow hole for a pipe extractor. After finding everything else locally I had to order the damn isolator kit. | ||

Had one of those moments today too. Doing a few odd jobs on the M2 & WTF? the locating pin for the rear pads & it's screw in lock plug are missing entirely. I searched frantically through all my old bits & pieces thinking that I know I've got another one somewhere, but no joy. So to get myself out of trouble, I took a 6mm Allen headed bolt ground it's head down a bit & then threaded it. It's doing the job for the moment until I can get a proper one. (Then I'll find the one I thought I had all along) |
