Re: Helmets - too good to be true....
Any helmet is crap be it a £50 or £1000 unless it fits correctly. The helmet i wouldn't trust is where there is a joining seem through the middle. These are lightly to split in half on an impact. Most helmets are made by a blown mold, where the mold is in 2 pieces. The plastic is soft and pushed it ...

Re: Tyres again sorry
Found that "E" & "O" means original equipment. Then there is "E" which means it's up to European standard. The others are just a code for the manufacturer or as Simbo says what washing temperature.

Re: Tyres again sorry
where do you find out what the codes M, C, O, etc mean?. All i can find is from Cambrian Tyre's " [size=16px]The final piece of information is the tyre’s name and model. Using the picture above this would be Bridgestone’s “Battlax S20” with a letter “F” after it. The “F” denotes the tyre is a f...

Re: Tyres again sorry
Even fully loaded+2 up at those speeds won't deform the tyre or affect the handling on a standard rated tyre as long as you have the right loading and speed rate. IRC the rear is 73w(axle weight). As long as the tyre weight ratings is kept to there should be no problems. The only bike ive ...

Re: Helmets - too good to be true....
I've had some offs in the past. One where i flowed through the air like Iron Man after a car hit me up the read doing 50mph and walked away without a scratch but the bike was a write off. A couple where i got road rash on my forearms(30 odd years later i still have the scares). Come to think of it i...

Re: How to bleed brakes

Re: Tyres again sorry
Roadtec 01 fitted, new EBC HH pads fritted to the front calipers(£42 for 2 pairs delivered). Now the problem, I cant run the tyres in as today we have winds of 80-100 mph. Pity as the sky is bright blue and not a raindrop in sight.

Re: Helmets - too good to be tue....
Not saying they are but there are lots of Shoei and Aria helmets copies in China but they are mostly sold on Chinese websites. Just search google and if you type in cycle gear.com, the site that comes up has a very similar logo. The prices are what you would expect to pay in a shop. The si...

Are these still London dispatch riders these days?. Thought that Emails with electronic signatures would have killed the industry. There used to be pages of jobs for riders in the MCN. In those days i was out whatever the weather chucked at me. Now if it's raining when i get up, i don't go out on th...

Re: Metzeler Z6
I remember taking a bike into a garage as i thought there was something wrong with the rear end. The bike was still under warranty, so i thought it would be covered. After dropping off the bike and looking around the showroom a man started running after me. As this was the time of the Brixton riots ...

Re: Tyres again sorry
Tyres will be with me tomorrow morning. I removed the wheels this afternoon and a good job i did. The inside brake pads were near to the metal. So ive had to order 2 packs of EBC HH pads to fit. Not bad price at £43 total delivered. Already fitted a new disc and pads to the rear. Expected to do bits...
