OK, the wheel issues and decisions continue. I really like the idea of WM2 on the front and WM3 on the back. Is there a WM3 rim that I can source that will work for the rear hub and spokes pattern? The alternative would be the same WM2 on front and rear. I have 2.75 front tyre and 3.25 rear tyre and...

Thanks for that, you just saved me wasting £65 or something that won't work!

I have had a quick chat with Devon and they need details of my hub. I'll sort that out and see what they quote me. I'll post the details on here which will hopefully help out someone else in the future.

I was planning to do a 4 sided tool. I started with 2 but after trying to line up number 3 I made a mess of it. I had a workaround if I wasn't getting ongoing the grip or if the studs broke. 3mm steel doesnt give too many threads or lateral support so i welded on a couple of nuts to be sure, In the ...

I done the best I could with my typically crude and over engineered way. I started off with some 3mm angle steel and cut the long parts 300mm for a bit of leverage and the short parts 55mm to give a little wiggle room on the inside. I have a vintage clamp to create 90degree angles. I created two "L"...

Quick question - I can't get the chrome fork seal holders off. I'm thinking hit it with plenty heat. Would this be a problem anywhere? I'm repainting so not bothered about a bit of scorching and the seals will be replaced of course. I was thinking about fabricating a tool. I've tried an oil filter r...
