65redspit Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 4 minutes ago, Clive said: The trouble is knowing what you want. As the used or new springs seem to all be different. And how do you measure the rate of a leaf spring? (I can do coils, though have nearly broken my neck more than once by falling off!) I don't know but I took mine in and said "I would like this 10% softer and 14mm shorter between the center of the vertical link eyes" ... so maybe if you simply took you old spring in and tell them what it's doing now and what you want it to do in the future?? I've no idea whether they can work with that but they showed huge knowledge and expertise when I went there ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I discovered a seized rear brake cylinder on Monday evening. Won't bore you with details of the scramble to rectify, but suffice it to say I need to bleed the system after work this evening, before packing my tools+spares+overnight stuff, and setting off for Wiltshire. Good luck with your test drive Paul. Looks like we're in for a wet afternoon session, so I'll be packing a raincoat and umbrella! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we're in for a wet afternoon session, so I'll be packing a raincoat and umbrella! I am sure we will all have a chat about all sorts. As to weather, it looked good last weekend went rapidly downhill but latest is looking a little more hopeful. Fingers still crossed, but yes, brolly, rainjacket, and a tarp to keep my tat dry are all about to be packed. I just need to go and find my helmet now.

Bleeding brakes took a lot longer than expected, so I didn't arrive at the hotel until 1:30am... not a great start 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
