Thats the trouble with the Brits. the always make things that are a waste of time!!!!

This little feller will split a chain before you've found your Grinder.
& leave the links without the surface coating ground off.

Trouble with spring clips is if you stop too quickly (disc brakes & all that) the chain stops & the spring clip carries on going & miraculously unclips itself & shoots 20 feet up the road. What a load of B*LL***S.
If anybody can stop that quick (such as hitting an imovable object head on @ 160mph) they definately will not be looking for their spring clip.
Lightness is everything.

Lightness with Grunt is a Scratcher!

An Adventure is not a tank transfer.

Have you dropped the oil as well Phil :woohoo:

You be carful that donkey will not know what's going on :lol: :lol:

As soon as I can change gear in the van and let the hand brake off I will be headed south, may not be until sun/mon :(

You followed me on the weekend and we did 16km and I only changed gear 5/6 times :lol:
and you know how many times I will have to change gear going over them big hills :woohoo:

YOU DRIVE :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

I am a complete control freak if anyone else was to drive I would have to be on much more medication than I am now and be blindfolded :sick:

Thank for the offer I would not spoil your ride down
and just imagine what the carnage would be like with Tramp taking them all over the snow caped hills . I would have odds of minimum 50% making it to Spain :laugh:
