This evening she has been given the clean and polish she deserves. Time has been lacking lately more than ever and it got a bit rotten to be honest.
I think she is a bit happier today

Be a pity to take it to bits during winter

If you put your back into it & scrub a bit harder you get that ghastly colour off...Oh no hang on it's yella undeneath ain't it... Jezzus your in trouble there then...












& yes the Custard Crumble is yella & has a blue bit on it but then it's a pile of poo so do I care ?

cause its Blue! eh Kev, a fellow blue biker.

today i had a lucky escape. if you could call it that .. out on the blue one and kinda swifty moving through 4 gear when the bike decided it was time to rip the sprocket and carrier clean outa my nice shiney dymag the wheels kinda fuked... the good news is i didnt end up in a hedge..bit of damage to the axle carrier on the spondon swinger but that can be replaced i hope.....

so for now im gona fit the other swinger and run a standard storm wheel... over the winter il sort a rear6" wheel that can fit the swinger...

lesson of hard knocks is. 20 year old mag wheels can be a danger so im not gona replace with another dymag.

everything was tight,bearings were good,pretty new actually and only 6 months ago both wheels had been xrayed for cracks..... i think my skins worth more than a sticker saying dymag...

Oops
I hear that carbon ones last longer, tell your significant other they are required under health and safety rules and are an investment.

Lucky escape.....

Bloody hell mate, first the chain now this. How many four leaf clovers did you find!

Feel for you and after all the work you've put into it.Have a look at PVM wheels thats the make of the 6"rear wheel i have in mine.

Google "Dymag wheel failure". Bit of an eye opener.

Glad you are OK Rob, and the bike!

lucky escape Rob ... you are also changing the front one I hope

yeah im gona go standard wheels atm. it was really the swingarm i was worried about more than anything. wheels i can get but that swinger mite be a tad hard to replace lol..

im counting it as a lucky one and i can make a lovly clock outa the rear one

Jeez, that must have been an ass clencher when that went, glad to hear your OK anyway mate.
