These people, https://motoliner.com/, have a good reputation and, IRC, they sorted someone on the forum very recently and very promptly. Andy
I have used these for a front wheel on a GSXR600, reasonable price, quality work, they do a lot for the race teams, especially after road races such as the TT
@Vader I used this guy , but I’m based in the North East - https://www.thersbywheelrepair.co.uk/ looking at your location though, motoliner may be closer for you to deal with, but if you get stuck let me know
Back from the EMM trip, somewhat eventful, 2,200 miles, some great roads just spent 2.5 hrs cleaning the bike
Build this into your selection Always choose the mild mannered one I’ve found this over the years the more manic the decorator the more rushed, sloppy and unfinished the work. As well as costs obvs
just get one to do both sanding and painting, be cheaper that way, rather than separate decorators for each stage....
Drove to Champions Flat School for a practice evening, 3 hours off rear wheel sliding beckon for him. Think I’ll sleep as much as possible. He was at MotoX Sunday gone and he’s in for a Speedway session on Sunday at Scunthorpe.
Last night on the telly just before bedtime they showed the front pages and a certain Mark Cavendish was on there, happy days for him and cycling.! First thing within the next hour is the X in the box for me.
He already said he would retire this year, and it will be a very sad day for cycling when he does. The man is a legend, beaten the odds and the doubters so many times. Come back from injury, illness and depression and has won more stages of the TDF than anyone in history, a record that will very probably never be broken again. A real hero (even if he can be a grumpy git at times) And it boils my guts that the sports news is full of stories about a miserable Scot not being able to play, but might be ok to play pat a cake doubles with a 21 year old or his brother.
The issue with Cavendish is not his riding ability, but, his childish, immature attitude, if he doesn't get his way, he throws a strop, if someone asks him a question he doesn't like, he throws a punch, he has been removed from a few teams, even his own, for this very reason
I agree he used to have an attitude problem but he has turned 180 degrees form that behaviour in the last few years. He values and praises his team at every opportunity. He knows he was given another chance and has made the most of it. Chapeau!
He may have changed his attitude in the last couple of years, does that make up for the 20 odd years of being an abusive, aggressive, childish wanker? Sorry, I don't think so If you hammer a nail in to a wooden beam for every time you were abusive/aggressive, for a prolonged period of time, then, you calmed down, and every day that you didn't get abusive/aggressive, you removed a nail from the beam, until all the nails were gone, good for you (him), but, the holes are still there, the damage has been done
Each to their own opinion… I can think of a lot of ‘sportsman’ who behave in a far more selfish and spoilt manner, and most them only kick a football or swing a golf club rather than risk serious injury every time they try to win.
As you say, each to their own opinion One question though, different topic, similar principles Would you give a convicted child sex offender a job in a primary school? Obvious answer is no, for simple reasons, he is a convicted child sex offender But, look at the other side of the argument, he has served his time, he says he has reformed, and a new man, with a changed outlook/attitude on life You still wouldn't give him the job though, would you?
