Title: Dc mx clean up
Post by: Glynnyboy on February 18, 2018, 05:10 PM: Only a little thing but it gave me a giddy on .
Got these off eBay. Ano was a lot better than the pics showed. The front had a generic spindle and both spindles were painted black. The jelly bean was shot and they just looked tatty as feck.

I had in the stash some nice bits and bats for cleaning up dc brakes. So changed the generic pivot bolt for dc, cleaned everything. New adjusters, moons and pivot bolt nut then a fresh jellybean from Del and bobs your uncle.
