Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Just caught up on this thread.
I wish I'd seen that Brexit link earlier. I would definitely not have sent it back to Farage without a stamp. Sleeping, the distraction technique works for me. I lay there thinking about a process such as striping down an engine or similar. Another one is slowing my breathing down. You have to concentrate on it plus it calms you down. I guess it's just a form of meditation. Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Hard to see why any of the bunch of criminals making up the current administration are still in a job. Although when one takes into account public gullibility and media complicity, maybe it's not so difficult to understand.
The knob Grayling is a particularly useless specimen though I agree Seeker. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Got home last night and noticed my right fork leg is weeping quite badly. I think my bike is trying to tell me to go find the matches.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Time for a fork rebuild! New seals, dust covers and bushes, about an afternoon of tinkering in the garage I reckon. Annoying though!

Have you tried cleaning it with a Seal Mate or similar? Sometimes dirt under the seal makes it leak rather than the seal needing changing.
