Hi ya bud,
can you also rivet the quick releases onto MX900's?
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?

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

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
