Spanish Pyrenees: May 28th - June 1st, 2012
Re: Spanish Pyrenees: May 28th - June 1st, 2012
Nice one Phil, our marquee should just about squeeze in there B)
Just got travel insurance for £9 here travelinsurancebooking.co.uk covers £10M of medical and repatriation (just thinking about that helicopter really). Hang about dont we have a coptor pilot on the roster?
KTM has an oil leak from left engine casing, do I fix and risk something going wrong or risk it? :unsure:
See you all soon, and don't worry Simon we are definitely coming all the way

Meanwhile, my new chain has arrived - two b*****y weeks late only to be supplied with a rivet link as opposed to a clip - so I'm banjanxed until I get access to a chain tool

Help please,
I'm in the process of buying spare brake and cluth levers in this shop, so is this a good chain tool for me to add to my order?

Oh yea thats a good value Splitter / Riveter.
Personaly I never rivet up, I always use split links so only use a lightweight splitter which doesn't do rivetting.
I'm bringing one with me if anybody needs to use it.

Little by liuttle I'm becoming an ABR withoiit having to leave my frint door; when I was a nipper chains were held together with clips that you had to remember to fit the right way round, in closed end facing the engine as it were. A lesson we all learned - once! - in particular my mate Al, now in charge of a Disyrict General Hospital A&E unit, he had a beautiful Royal Enfield Continental GT* and forgot - oh how we laughed!

Didn't Tramp say he was bringing a splitter / riveter? if not I have a riveter I can pack, another kilo will be fine Bringing a spare chain afterall...
Just cut the old one off, splitters are a waste of time, grind the rivet ends down, screw driver in the back and heave, job done. Can be done with a dremmel, angle grinder or file.
