is there something i can buy to work on my bikes?, changing tyres,repairing punctures and stuff is a piece of p1ss BITD and even now
but ive just spent 20 minutes trying to adjust my brakes on the TA and cant get a fookin brake at all - its got mx1000s on it - its got the quick release bullsh1t on the side - but its doing me head in - :LolLolLolLol:
while we are on the subject of me being a complete novice TW4T has anyone got a picture of how a headset fits ?
ive got one for my ET that is in about 10 different parts in a bag - but havent got a clue how it goes on the bike
worse comes to worse ill take the bikes down halfords and let them do it , this is a embarrassing post so go easy on me fellas
thanksin advance Danny
