Re: it's goodnight from me
Sorry to hear this news. Sad when private companies have deals like this tied in with others misfortunate events and making money off the back of other peoples misery. I once lost a bike because I had a crash and was laid up in hospital where storage fees for my bike built up to the point where it ...

Re: it's goodnight from me
Bad news indeed. It's probably worth getting it back, you'll get around 500 for the parts if you break it. Be careful the police dont start charging you storage.... Thanks, it's not the cops who have it, they call out a company that recovers stolen vehicles, nice little partnership there i think, t...

Re: it's goodnight from me
[emoji20][emoji20][emoji20] That’s really crap. Sorry to hear that. Nothing worse than being an innocent victim. Sorry it’s put you off bikes at the moment. It’s the little scrotes that took its fault, not yours. Hopefully you’ll come back to it when you’re ready Pete.l Sent from my iPhone using Ta...

Re: Caliper mounting bolt snapped
It's only 22ft/lb torque, that isn't a great deal so go easy on the new one. If they have been over tightened in the past best to get 4 new ones, don't think they are expensive from . I did send for new ones from Fowlers, paid for next day delivery, and unlike some other companies i have used they ...

Re: running crap and backfiring
