I'm always tugging up for 7th, makes me mad, I'm going the GlPro way and fitting a cog counter. That will be my next project.
Still not set the loaded rider sag on my baby yet since the suspension upgrade.
The Rear static sag (Weight of the bike on the suspension) is 16 mm from fully extended.
The Front static sag is 25 mm from full extended.
I'm looking Rear loaded Rider sag of 35-40 mm fully togged up ready to ride, feet on the pegs (Full weight on the suspension)
And 40 to 45 mm on the Front Forks.
But its one of those jobs you need a few spare hands, and, people you can trust to measure accurately while you sat on the bike with someone else balancing/holding the bike upright without applying and down pressure or lifting at all.
I have the right guys to help but this weather is so shit I don't fancy the 25 mile ride total to get it sorted. just have to wait till it warms up a bit, as I don't do rain or cold, and I came off too many times as a younger guy cos of snow and ice.
Anyway I have just made a curry for tomorrow evening supper, I like to make it the day before cos it marinades, and curry always tastes better the next day.
Peter a mate of mine loves spices and makes a chilli paste/sauce that he calls 'Diabolo' it has so much heat in it, but the flavour is delicious just half a level teaspoon is enough in a curry for 4 people,it is as hot as I can bear it and my family are about the same when it come to Diabolo tolerance so all is good.
He grows all the mini red chillies and limes and coriander and all the other stuff that goes into it, he says that he wants to know that everything is perfect before it get the title 'A Peter Woson Production' :evil
Beginning to feel like Mary Berry here lol!
Ingredients thus far
1 kilo of chicken breasts, 1 large onion finely chopped, 3 gloves of garlic crushed, 1 large potato diced, 1 large parsnip diced, 1 large carrot diced, 2 red capsicum peppers, 1 green capsicum pepper, half a level teaspoon of Peters Diabolo paste, (and here come the cheat) 1 Jar of Sharwoods Extra Creamy Tika Sauce.
And tomorrow for the final cook a few florets of cauliflower and a hand full of cashew nuts. Mmmmmm :lol
What this has got to do with a spongy clutch I do not know.
