hi guys

any one have a link to a download link please

thanks

Hey I'm looking for a new chain as my Squire is started to get a bit long in the tooth. The cover has all but disintegrated and it's started to scratch  my bike wheels when using it.
Anyway I've been looking around at what seems to be the best and a few things keep popping up but I've got my eye on the Oxford beast 22mm with the Oxford beast lock. It's on offer st the minute for £202 for both which is great, I'm just wondering if a 20kg 22mm link chain is going to be a bit overkill? My current squire is only a 14mm chain and has always done the job so I'm wondering if it would be better to just stick to one of a similar size? Also means I wouldn't have to get a new ground anchor
But then the Oxford one is sold secure diamond rated so I'm thinking it might bring the insurance down a smidge ?‍♂️

Anyway does anyone have any input/advice that may help me choose which is the best option?

(Edit: fair point sharpie ??)

Hi all!


Apologies for the clickbait title but I fear my bike made need some sort of exorcism as i'm pulling out my already balding hair with this one.....


I have an '03 foxeye, sub 18k miles, ridden daily (commuting from Bristol to Bath) since January with no problems.


Until yesterday... while accelerating fairly hard on a dual carriageway when the revs just dropped off like it was low on power but only temporarily! Not a misfire, just low power temporarily.

It happened at about 9k revs, dropped to about 7k revs then picked back up to around 8k. "Strange" i thought...


Until today! when, as if by some strange occurrence... the opposite happened! Increased revs while accelerating (as though a slipping clutch) then back to normal. I was nowhere near he clutch and hadn't used it in quite some time!


I feel i should add it doesn't hunt on idle and this is an intermittent fault.


To add more detail, I did an oil change at the weekend (let's not get into oil chat!) It di need a top up while I was riding after the change when the oil light came on so I topped it up a little. No more light. Could it be this? I feel this is fairly circumspect...


I also, to be safe, uprated the front sprocket this evening as I knew if had the older skinny one on there as i thought it might be spooling there but the nut I removed was tight like a tiger when I took it off.


So the bottom line is, I think my bike is possessed, does anyone have any suggestions as to what it may be and how to rectify it???


Failing that, does know any priests who do call outs to Bristol?

Hi all,


I'm looking at removing the engine to do some work on it and to clean it up/spray it.


Instead of putting rags in the air intakes/exhausts outlets I was thinking of getting plastic caps for them.


Any ideas what they are called?  I have tried several searches/called them different things but cannot find them.


Anyone bought these before and can recommend a company to get them from?


Thanks

A question for the FOC-U font of all knowledge...

My garden is basically an adventure playground for cats at the moment, but it's causing problems for my gf as the grass pollen kicks off her hay fever.

So I'm looking to replace it with a patio.

The idea is to hire a mini-digger, dig it out, put in a weed-proof barrier, then a couple of layers of hard core, tamp them down with a Wacka Plate, add a layer of sharp sand, then lay the patio on top of that, allowing a 1:60 drop for drainage (there'll be a strip of earth at the side for water to drain into.

Has anyone on here done this sort of job and has any useful suggestions, comments or recommendations for anything I might have missed?

Sooo, this may be the final nail for my little fazer AKA the golden donkey...


Oil return pipe on the front of the engine has burst, 3 or 4 pin holes in it.


I’ve managed to source one off eBay, so went to change it today.


Someone has already been there and rounded off the Allen screw in the middle of the pipe.


The access is shocking.... it’s an engine out job I’m guessing to even try to fix?!?


Has anyone managed to deal with this in situ???
