Re: Rideout Of The Stuartyboy weekend away- new and improved
Thanks very much for the info. Saltire wanted £443 for a new one (including bearings, etc). Ouch! Last week-end, I was coming up over the hill from Gleneagles towards Glendevon and a horse box in front of me (I was sitting behind it, waiting to over-take) skelped the wall at the side of the road and knocked some rocks on to the road. I ended up hitting one and now I need a new front wheel (and tyre)! Managed to stay shiny side up luckily.
Thanks again for the help! Kate |

The local garage is seeing how quick he can get hold of a tyre for me this week, but if the offer of the old 020's still there I might pop up for it in the car, it'd at least mean I could afford the run, then replace it properly come PayDay...? |

Yeah, no probs. I think I'll be out on thursday night mind, that might make things awkward. I can stick it on teh wheel as well for you if you need, no great hardship...

Re: Rideout Of The Stuartyboy weekend away- new and improved
That was good last year. I spent all weekend eating burgers the size of my head... I'm as definate for the weekend as I ever get for the weekend, I might still duck out if the weather's truly terrible for the usual reasons but I'm looking forward to it, last year was awesome...

Re: Rideout Of The Stuartyboy weekend away- new and improved
Bring your waterproofs....
And I've watched sunshine and dry roads from the office window all day today and yesterday, then its p1ssed it down as soon as I swung a leg over the bike. So I haven't really had an opportunity to scrub in the new front tyre. It still has 1 inch of completely unused shiny chicken strip on each edge... No fun corners for me this weekend |
