Now, if you put a See-You-Jimmy hat on that - it would be a pretty good likeness

[clockworkgazz]

quite right- hit them were it hurts mate

How did your road ride go on sunday anyway velo? Everyone has been so active and I've been a big dirty slob.

Talking of freebies - Zigzag - sorry to announce the preload adjuster you sent is not compatible with my Judy's (no, not those ones Kaiser) so my quest for Judy completeness continues, bah :cry:

Actually ok in practice as can adj preload with screwdriver if need be.

Bugger, that's a bind, I thought that was sure to be the one, since they are so easy to break (which explains why I only had one good one). Ach well, at least you can still adjust.

Nope - black. Skinny plastic adjustment spindle thingy which sits inside the fork leg top cap and engages with adjuster screwy mechanism. Can still adjust the thing with lolly stick or whatever, but I have an 'ole in the top cap where this component would otherwise sit, so wet rain can get in. :shock:
Can always fabricate a suitably sized bung as temp solution to that :roll:

Well I have a couple of bits, though none exactly like the bit in the pic...I don't think. Let me get a pic up.
