Rubbish ones!

If you've got some trick ones then I could understand showing them off.

If you're going to file the caliper may I suggest filing tokico completely off, repaint the calipers, getting an old stencil & can of red paint & spell brembo

so then the chain is on easy really, but i have come to the conclusion that all chain breakers/riveters are ****!!!!
SEE

I had to re-fit chain in order to remove the front sprocket

Then fitted new one.


also while we were taking bike outside me and the significant other were discussing how the hell we were going to get the bike back up from where it is i have taken some pics for you to see,



so i will need to get a proper loading ramp and a few hands when its done if there are any volunteers????
