Re: project nail_bOmb
With half an hour to spare before tea last night, I thought I'd use the time constructively and give the area behind the sprocket cover a good clean and remove the front sprocket. Must admit to being surprised by what I found! The sprocket retaining nut was finger-tight after the tabs on the lock-washer hadn't been secured allowing the rretaining nut to 'back off' and start to wear through the clutch cable locating clevis! Anybody got a spare clevis they want to sell?

Re: project nail_bOmb
Thanks for that, only one I can find listed is on the Wemoto page and that's £46.22 + postage! Has anyone got a spare knocking around from breaking a bike? Anyway, onwards and upwards, started cleaning up the rear wheel tonight, hit it with two coats of paint stripper that I got from the local motor factors after discovering that Nitomors is not as strong as it used to be due to health and safety. The stuff I used is called Langlow Strip Away Pro and is lethal! (the end of my rubber gloves lasted around five minutes before disintegrating and I ended up running into the kitchen to run my hands under the cold tap) Recommended though if you need to strip paint easily and quickly, just dab it on with an old paintbrush and it starts to bubble up immediately, then finish it off with some wire wool and rinse it off.
Decided to clean up the rims with a couple of grades of wet and dry and a polish and spray the rest satin black with rattle cans. I usually go the powder oat route with my projects but keeping this cheap and cheerful, the polished rims should allow me to change tyre's without chipping the paint off the rims, sadly something that the nine previous owners didn't really worry about....... |

Re: project nail_bOmb
Thanks for that Andrew, going to just go for the clutch release mechanism and keep my fingers crossed! Here's a couple of photos of progress made, rear wheel sprayed, polished rims, new wheel bearings, disc centre sprayed, titanium disc mounting bolts, (£3 each, bargain), cush-drive scotchbrited and m10x1.25 stainless flanged fasteners.....
