  1. i just wanted to know if there are any local riders who might wish to ride this week if so please contact me on 07794844224

    thanks ashley banner

    Theres a few riders round Lowestoft way. Theres a ride today, meeting at 11:30 at Clearmont Pier, then just riding along the seafront. If your free, just come out.

  2. Carl, best way to do bed them in is get as much speed up as possible, then slam the brake on, repeat a few times. If you drag it on slightly, theres a chance it can glaze over. Just done my rear hope, didnt even need water and its ace.

  3. Paint = Nitromorse (just paint the goo on, leave for a while, then use scrunched up newspaper or similar to wipe it off, burns if you get it on your skin)

    Anodised = Caustic soda (can get in most hardware stores, dissolve it in water, dip bike part in and leave for a few mins, voila. Do it outside though its very horrible stuff)

    EDIT: TOO SLOW
