  3. Now go for a ride as that is one brand new tyre
     
  4. That was the day the tyre was fitted and hadn't even been ridden, the chain was too tight....till I put a longer one on for the 41t sprocket.:frown:
     
  5. Yea could see it had not even rolled.
    otherwise you have the biggest chicken strips in the world:smile:
     
  6. Lol :biggrin:.....you can still see where the compound changes towards the outer edge too even now.:wink:
     
  7. Gold lockwire would look mint on yours :upyeah:
     
  8. Does the lockwire add power or cudos?
     
  9. Neither but....but it makes less mess when the sprocket nuts start falling off n the sprocket overtakes you! :eek:
     

  10. Stupid boy Pike...BOTH
     
  11. Ahh, i forgot, its a ducati, and things do tend to fall off!
     
  12. Not if its got lock wire on it.

    Regards Steve
     
  13. Been round to the auto shop but they do not seem to stock gold lock wire. Any idea Anth?

    Regards Steve
     
  14. I used to lock wire myself onto the bike,always felt that little bit safer.
     
  15. Tyre Chalk ?
     
  16. NO! Erm....let me think about it for a while.......still NO!:tongue:
     
  17. I've Just asked a mate who works in the aviation industry, he said you can get it in just about any colour and he gets his fancy stuff from

    Wire supplier of stainless steel wire-lock wire and safety wire-aluminum wire-brass wire-copper wire-medical wire-fishing wire-fishing leaders

    But they're in America.

    He's gonna look for uk suppliers when he goes back to work.
     
  18. I was joking. Gold lockwire what ever next gold nuts? You need to get a grip Anth or Ducbird will have to take you in hand. Hang on thats not what I meant but it made me grin when I read it back so left it in.

    Regards Steve
