  1. when its filthy I give it the once over with a hose. get a strip down and re grease every few month, so clean everything then.
  2. I was talking to him the other day, he wanted another bike. I seen the link you sent him on FB. lol If your into street stuff, in Workington it self isn't that bad. if natty is your thing, Harrington, Whitehaven or st bees is the place to be. all with in 10 miles.....
  3. higher rise stem might help. I HATE havin a low stem makes the bike FEEL longer, and gives me a bad back after about 30mins riding.

  6. Normally lower rise stems are for streety stuff. so and old tmaster would be good. Personally I like a high rise stem, not as stretched out....

  13. he went into the back of you while you were stood still. Id say it was his fault.... If he rode off. thats a crime in itselfs. Correct?!
  14. You wanting a long wheel base or a long reach? I remember the Ashton (stock) was about 1055 wheel base, but was 26" reach, and a "long" adamant was 1090 wheel base but a 25.54" reach. (number are only a rough guesstimate. Its the angle of the head tube. (but you knew that allready)

  17. I have both snap on and halfords, more snap on now, and I prefer snap on. they don't slip as much, Yes there pricey. but I use them everyday. I was using a halfords spanner to get a lambda sensor off an exhaust, and I could see the spanner bending!!!
