Re: Shifter Woes

I haven't heard of the pawl spring making a bang when it breaks.
Out with the transmission and off with the rear cover.

Re: Good idea?

I wouldn't dare run tubeless with snowflake mags. They weren't designed to be run that way. I decided I wouldn't on the front, but I did on the back for a while. But Ive only had one flat rear anyway. A pilot activ rear (my go to) is just about impossible to fix a flat on a snowflake and get it sea...

Re: Good idea?

A right angle adapter is a must have if you're tubeless snowflake, can't get a gas bottle on otherwise.

Re: Throttle feel

Jolly good man. Any slack at the throttle tube? The splitter deals with that.

What's the tool on the top row one in from the right?
Claude's probably asleep so I'll have a crack. It's a cylinder base sealant application correcting tool.

Re: Bike Toppled - Is It damaged?

I had some Staintune mufflers made a couple of years ago and asked them to not put that hideous dent in the muffler. Much better.

Re: Bike Toppled - Is It damaged?

The dent in the muffler near the head of the axle is normal. Done so the axle can be removed without removing the muffler. The gap between the fd should be about 1mm. It is possible you have a longer 'top hat' in the axle assembly to allow for a wider tyre, not unusual. Having both mufflers symmetri...
