  1. Is this amount of hub play normal? 5 Mar 2026 16:28 Terry, 3/3/2026 at 6:55 PM I just priced up a single OEM shim at USD9.48 each. Or you can buy a complete set 141 pieces, 3 of each thickness, for USD64 from Aliexpress. That's how I do it. Do be quite the difference!
  2. Is this amount of hub play normal? 3 Mar 2026 16:12 20 hours ago, Terry OEM shims come in finer 0.025mm gradations (1 thou), whereas aftermarket shims are in 0.05mm (2 thou) increments, so you may not have too much choice when it comes to getting into spec. Is there much…
  3. Is this amount of hub play normal? 2 Mar 2026 11:14 11 hours ago, Terry You sound a bit like me; if there's no maintenance history, I go all-in and check the basics including the valve clearances. It's also fun to go in and do stuff so if there's a reason to spend time…

  6. What is and how do I go about fixing this mystery bubble 1 Mar 2026 18:56 52 minutes ago, Divilus I'll look into finding an equivalent available here This looks like it could do the job although there's no mention of fuel resistance https://amzn.eu/d/0ijJMGsB
  7. What is and how do I go about fixing this mystery bubble 1 Mar 2026 18:03 3 hours ago, Thumbs That's a pin hole in the tank alright, best to pop it before it gets bigger and lifts more paint For a temporary fix I've used this from Permatex…
  8. What is and how do I go about fixing this mystery bubble 1 Mar 2026 17:58 4 hours ago, Presson What does the inside of the tank look like? Rusty? That looks suspiciously like a pin hole leak under the paint I'll send a picture when I'm off work or tomorrow in the sunlight, from what I saw…
  9. Is this amount of hub play normal? 1 Mar 2026 17:57 Noticed it when I was changing the chain (I'll change the sprockets in a bit just needed the chain cos it was on its last legs ((there was no more adjusting and it was already out of spec at that point)) but the shop…
  10. What is and how do I go about fixing this mystery bubble 1 Mar 2026 10:16 Not sure if it was there when I first got the bike but I don't think it was, noticed it a few weeks after I got it. It's soft and squishy like there's some liquid (gas?) inside and it's growing slowly as it used to be…
