It's a mountain bike disk rotor, so only about 20-25$

Cheap as chips!

The metal there is thin, very thin, nothing compared to a motorbike disk.

Absolutely,

The bike looks awesome, magic, fantastic and I'm not jealous (well go on then, just a little bit).

Good work, and good taste = Result!

Glad you enjoyed the read and sorry I couldn't just post it up properly but I might if I get the chance this weekend to upload all the photos to photobucket etc. We'll see. C...

Summer Trip to Slovenia 2009

I ended up, more for me than for anyone else in particular, writing up the trip I made this summer to Slovenia and back with my mate Edu, along with some of the photos we took. If anyone's familiar with Megaupload I've posted it there for downloading under the following link: http://www.megaupload.c...

The only problem with a five angle cut is that there are very very few people in the world with a machine that's capable of doing 5 angle on valves as small as the EXUPs. As far as I know the only machine capable of doing 5 angle cuts on valves like ours is the SERDI 5.0, and these are the only guys...

I was going to, I really was. I know it'd be an investment. I know they pay for themselves and all the rest, but everytime I come to pay the cash I back out. Two years running now. Part of the problem is having two bikes. You know. Why buy for one and not the other? 'Cos I'm not forking out that muc...

Spook you animal. Lol. Hahahahaaaaa Although I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS, you can put the sidesand down and then lean the bike up on just the stand That's how we oil the chain on trips. Need to disconnect the sidestand safety switch first, but then it's a piece of cake. One guy tips the bike up on the s...

Be careful the first few times you ride it, You ain't tried the Spondon!!! I still have to stomp a foot down from time to time. The turning circle is so shite you literally smack the fork tubes into the frame tubes and lose balance way before you'd imagine. Need a four lane road to turn around with...

I want to fit a Renthal too. After a 5000km trip this summer I don't want to see another clip-on in this life :P I've already fitted a double bubble screen and will be trimming the sides and sorting out some way of removing the tank stay. I don't want to make the screen shorter so it's going to be a...

At the end of the day, ALL riders gather in single file, for one last lap of the track as a goodby forever That's nice, but at the same time it's a shame. Happening all over the place.

Cheers Cam,

I'm loling forward to trying one clip less on the Spondon too.. as soon as the kids give me a chance. Want to see just how crisp I can get it.

Also good to know that Tony was running 165 mains with his pods... I won't bother trying 140 mains now then!
