  2. The above 'picture whore' post is just a warning if anyone is tempted by a set make sure they are the new improved design for single sided swingarm.

    My old one did its best to part company with the bike at about 60 mph due to some kind of failure in hub or bonding (see my dymag recall thread).Hense the re design albeit mine is the only dymag carbon wheel to have this problem but I guess Dymag wanted to be sure it wouldn't happen again.

  9. Nice one Bettes. I do like having favours owed!

    Cranker - you're a braver man than me! My boy is 5 years old, and although he has a high degree of respect for most things, there's no way I'd let him anywhere close to my bike armed with lock wire!

  11. I know and I'm sure he could lock wire anything he fancied, just not my bike!

  13. You guys are missing so much by not having lockwire and pliers and doing your own. I love it
