Yep I'm looking for a new rear wheel red anodised one! Yes they are the Weinmann 20" type alloy wheels.

There is a cut on the old outer brake cable that sits one the top tube I'm thinking it was done like this to reduce friction on the cable, but I can't find this finer outer cable housing so I've got these Huret Brake cable clamps instead!

Started to take the burner apart and start stripping it down and took the old amber wall tyres off to check for rim damage the rear wheel has a crack! :facepalm: I'm not sure if they can fill weld it? It looks steel to me or is Alu? You can see the from the pictures, but I'm gutted as I would...

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? I DIDN'T WANT OT START RESTORING THIS CAN'T AFFORD TO! :facepalm: :lol: Middle bars still have that crappy black sticky stuff!

Re: Pedals - a wasted afternoon? What metal polish do you use I use Peek!

I have tools I've broken or lost people just don't understand when that happens Richard But this will cheer you up Its not even I can't afford one but it works!:lol: Jay

Re: Pedals - a wasted afternoon? To get that nice curve I would find some metal tubing that can reproduce the shape, bend it far as it will go to create the space then smack it back into shape! Shame these days I repair all sorts when I buy stuff from Egay!

Yes I paid £10.00 free delivery! I seen cheaper, but from what I can tell the steel pins are not hardened steel pins LOL!

Okay that makes sense don't know why I thought smallest first I remember when I was a kid someone said the derailleur will extend the chain for distance length? I was a kid of 9 :lol: Well I have to wait for the chain splitter to arrive!

Richard sorry I'm really confused now! :oops: So set it to largest cog first like the picture bellow?
