Best changed before use. What did you go with? 7.5, 10? Also have to remember the average Chinese person doesn't weigh much. |

Also have to remember the average Chinese person doesn't weigh much. well one side had 46ml of oil and other side had 60ml but ended up going for 65ml of 10w each side feels a lot better and not bottoming out now as im 20 stone so a fair bit more then the aveage chinese rider have put up with it bottoming out since getting them forks but needed to sort it as have mot tomorrow :/ |

Getting damn cold working on a nightmare of a Vauxhall meriva simple fan belt change no way, firstly wrong belt from Disney World (motor world ) as it's known locally. Then a new tensioner which has to be cobbled onto the old one as one bolt cannot be removed due to mount in way which forms part of pump and engine mount which if removed could cause the rebuilt engine to leak fluid internaly due to torque settings being disturbed plus the bolts are to long unless engine removed. A hammer may come into play if enough room to swing it.

Milly, from 11/11. 'Sealed leaking sidewalls'? How oh great Man of Mystery? By cleaning up the contact area on the metal rim where the beading of the tyre sits with a rotary wire wheel in a drill to get rid of loose flakes of paint. |

Ahhh, a bead leak, not a leak in the sidewall.
A friend of mine has a full-size tire machine which he also has adapters fitted on for small tires. He has an arm with a wire wheel attachment he can use to clean the rim while the rim spins on the machine. He can work on tires from truck tires on down to garden tractor tires in his garage. Tire rims suffer from corrosion whether they are made of steel or aluminuminiumy alloys. The clear coat they use on many alloy wheels is infamous for causing bead leaks as corrosion creeps under the clear coat. It seems like many tire shops will sometimes give the rims a brush and then mount the tires which often leads to annoying bead leaks.

It seems like many tire shops will sometimes give the rims a brush and then mount the tires which often leads to annoying bead leaks. my experiance of tyre shops in the U.K is they are lazy, countless times ive had to remind them to fit a new valve when ive had brand new tyres fitted, If you read the small print on the invoice they are supposed to fit a new valve as a matter of course, but will always try and dodge it if they think they can. And if the rims need dressing to get rid of oxidation or rust they will do the bare minimum prep and slap the sealing paste on thick. Its always heart breaking when you discover your brand new tyre is losing pressure only a few days after having it fitted. |
