Hi ya bud,

I've got a new quick release coming soon but I need to find somebody to fit it.

Cheers,

Giles

Steve, I was only discussing this the other day with Hootski. I've got an MX900 arm and a new QR from Porkchop to fit into it........... do you fancy having a practice on it for me

I'll bring it to the Christmas do at Terminal One if I don't get a chance to sort it before as it need stripping and polishing first as it's a faded black arm and needs to be silver

Cheers bud

Have you had any practice on Odyssey levers? Is there a measurement that I could check?
Cheers

Spen. Did you manage to get your quick releases done? I have a rear dc mx 900 that needs the quick release replacing. Can it be done using this rivet tool?

Senile

I was in the pub where you sad muppets should have been

Steve, Sid still has the caliper as he was sorting out the nasty powdercoating on it first mate - I haven't seen him since before christmas as he keeps coming up with excuses why he's not allowed out to play on ramp nights anymore......

I'll get it down to you as soon as I get it back off him bud

Once it's fixed I can drill those undrilled MRD race forks of mine to fit it on my daughter's bike

animal · « **Reply #21 on:** January 31, 2012, 09:15 PM »

Looks very similar 2 a dia compe rivet . Have u compared them ?

Gary72 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 31, 2012, 10:36 PM »

First line under the last pic

Will try and take it to a Rad meet and have a look at someone else's

Gary72 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2012, 03:55 PM »

Found a tech 3 in the shed, Lever bodies are same width, How do I get the old rivet out?
Cheers
Gary

animal · « **Reply #24 on:** February 04, 2012, 08:09 PM »

Centre punch the centre of the rear of the rivet (opposite end 2 the domb ) then very carefully drill it with a drill bit larger that the head of the rivet . Very slowly tho or if the drill grips it will damage and drill a large mashed hole in the lever, which u don't want . Then just tap the rivet out

Will check them measures 4 ya when I get a min
