I've had a few little "moments" that will never leave the shed but the big "doh" mechanical moment for me was when I bought a complete bike off a bloke from the US and after giving everything a careful once over, adjust, lube, check and check again to convince myself that it was safe to take for...

I have taken the teeth of a big ring for this purpose a couple of times.. a bit fiddly but worked fine once it was done. Excuse the rusty chain.

I had to google it :oops: :lol:

does it toe in the pads?

What was the biggest fattest skin wall of the 90's?

Six hour count-down bumb :D

Re: Slingshot Big-Shot SS I dunno :? They say you either love or hate these bikes.. I'm still firmly on the fence. The flex in the frame in unbelievable and while it's not unstable the wriggle and lurch can be quite unsettling at speed. I know it's not unsafe but convincing the reflexes of...

Yep.. everything is listed separately in the link. All the gear is packaged like fine china and will make it anywhere in the world unharmed.
