12mm front sprocket nut. Paint the centre stand to a standard which will stop it rusting.

The good old BT21's. I know they're old hat, but I've always got on fine with them in 13 years of riding Fazers and get good wear. But then I ride like an old man

General / DIY Tyre Change - Need Compressor?
« on: 19 March 2015, 05:55:33 pm »
So, finally getting around to changing my tyres (I bought the things MONTHS ago and haven't got round to it).
Will I be able to pop the bead in with a footpump (actually have a standey-upee-hand one but can't remember what it's called!) or will I need a compressor?
Cheers

« on: 02 November 2014, 08:16:10 pm »Here you are here is a topic I started about foot pumps
http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php/topic,12069.msg139998.html#msg139998
And I think stirrup pumps have more per pump than foot pumps, I am happy with my foot pump.

Need a new pump. Thinking of a stirrup pump for a change, but not sure if they have the volume-per-pump of a foot-pump? Anybody use a stirrup pump?

Talking of weights, I didn't know you could get black ones and bought a shed load of silver ones, Doh!!

Hm, I'm not convinced. I think that you need the small low friction bearings on the proper frame to allow the wheel to rotate as freely as possible. If you're only talking 5 grams out of balance I don't think greased axle bearings will have low enough "sticktion".

Cheers. Did you already have the frame then, this looks like just the shaft and cones?

Any point buying a £50 one over a £20 one? They're all basically a shaft and cones resting on bearings...
