Thanks for confirming, it's an odd sort of material like a ceramic.

Drilling is not easy at that point so I will try to find a replacement here in the UK or Europe.

On my Mono 1988 R100RS I have the kind of rear carrier specifically designed for a top box, it connects down to the pannier frames. It seems one time I over-tightened the top box because the carrier part is cracked all the way through. My question is to those of you that know about metallurgy, which...

I recently had to replace my driveshaft (97K miles and the UJ had become notchy). On reassemlby I used Hylomar Blue sparingly and so far not a trace of oil.

High five! The noise it made when if first moved was a kind of metalic groan...

I've just bought a San Jose replacement yolk (triple-clamp thingie) to fit there in the next few weeks.

It's off.

I got a breaker bar long enough to brace against the frame, and a dirty great long spanner.

This is all a long way of saying that the inner thread is spinning when I try to remove it. Clearly I am supposed to u...

At least, I could not get it to budge. I'm loathed to take a dremmel to it and cut it off, but I am going to replace the ...

Morning all The Christmas break saw me with a day spent in the garage (max temp all day in there 2 deg C :-( ). I've adjusted the clutch both using the cable at the bars and locknut at the gearbox. To be honest, I don't think it was wrong but you never know. Right now it's adjusted correctly so all ...

@Zombie Master:

That looks great but was it a straight replacement or was additional work involved? Looking at the pictures of the vendor website it's hard to tell.
