Cheers m8 there pretty good tyres too, not to noisey like i expected on the tarmac ..

the fronts always been pretty firm anyway m8 my other dt's front end is loads spongier cos it has shorter mini scaffold bars in the top than my blue bike,, wish i could wheelie m8 iv done a few accidental lobs thats about it ,,, iv gotta relax my rear firmness a bit tomorrow so i can reach the floor at junctions again. havin to sorta come off the seat a bit to touch the floor lol

DT-R_bradders · Guru

ok klkl

tripr · Guru

big one slowly coming up nice

tripr · Guru

The dep after some work repacked an shiney just need something to put the end cap back on with

NEV · Guru

Comin on nicely there Tripr, you'll need to drill 4 x 3mm holes, one in the top, one in the bottom, one in each side then bang in self tappers in, so you can get in to re-pack again in the future, rather than rivetting.

Adrill with a sheepskin buffer on it and plenty of T-cut brings it up nice and shiny

tripr · Guru

m8 lol you didnt need to show me that picture well jealous now your dep's lovley. i dont own a power drill yet either, puts mine to shame ill look in to then self tappers in the diy place tommoz tho nice one..

NEV · Guru

Dare say if you could clamp it down somehow, you could use a long linen cloth and buff it up with T-cut, just take a bit of extra elbow grease, but you'll need a drill to drill the holes for the self tappers mind.
Oh and talking of end cans, I found out today, when I took my bike for its MOT, if you stubby your dep end can, you don't need to re-stamp the serial number on the box anymore. Apparently some MOT testers were failing on this.
