Why am I so sh1t?

[BTBR]

Do you want to take mine to work and check it out then?

No worries, drop it off when you are passing, or wait till the next meeting

I wonder how many people just chuck them back in the bottom of the tool box without backing the tension off.

mine just turns itself off

I read the instructions when I bought it
Never lend it out. and if anyone uses it, round my garage/workshop, winding off tension is compulsory, or 7lb lump hammers get airborne

Proof, as if it were needed

You can teach an old fat dog new tricks

Removed the back wheel today, had new tyre fitted, replaced back wheel

Only one minor drama ......

I've fitted a top box since the last time so when I took the back wheel out it nearly fell off the stand Caught it though and no damage done

What you fail to mention Mutters, is the fact that this time there was an adult in attendance should things have gone tits up again.

Next you can learn how to change the tyres yerself.

It's actually dead easy, but really intimidating if you haven't done it before...but oh so satisfying actually doing it yourself

And no, you don't need to balance TKC's

I am a complete numptie

Don't worry about it, I'm sure it is a birth defect!

Sorry Mutters, couldn't resist it!

Remove pads from caliper before removing caliper.

Remove caliper before removing wheel.

Refit wheel before refitting caliper.

Refit caliper before refitting pads.



Fail to do the above and that`s why you`re a numpty.

Are you saying that you can change brake pads without removing the calliper (front/rear)?? (obviously I'm a novice at this).

Never changed the front so cant comment.but you should remove the rear caliper (its not difficult) to change the pads as well as cleaning off dirt and checking that the pads are free to move in and out.

I could say that obviously you`re not trying hard enough.....or that I had been working on a Jap bike prior to posting....but in reality it`s a superb example of the effects of an early evening bottle of wine.....

I'll have you know I took the wheel out at home and THEN went to Vern's.

He was only involved in using his contacts to get a criminally cheap fitting and balancing job done

I then went home with the loose wheel and replaced it ON MY OWN

Seen that, done it, got the dirt!

TRY READING A MANUAL, PREFERABLY FOR THE MACHINE IN QUESTION

And no, you don't need to balance TKC's

Happy to admit being a technical numpty aswell But how come TKCs don't need balancing?

Cause they vibrate so bloody much when balanced, running them unbalanced can only make them better.
