Hi yoshi or N30, what ever you prefer

who do you use to fit your tyres? I know a guy who is very reasonable on price if you're interested. I know he does a few things with race bikes too so he might be experienced in fitting with carbon fibre wheels? Just a thought.

I use a bloke called Martin, He's a mobile tyre fitter and does all my work for me. I don't have to lift a finger or even leave the house lol

Good god man, how many body parts have you had to sell to get all this??

Can't wait to see them wheels fitted!

Yoshimitsu · 24 Aug 2010 at 21:15

Big apologies again, These are just pictured after pulling out of the shed, it needs a major clean and polish, The project still has work to do, Titanium disc replacements, Carbon undertray, Carbon Clock support, Gilles chain adjusters, Gilles Titanium locking nut, Factory Pro velocity stacks still to come, and a **** load more.#

Also after fitting the wheels I decided to carry on the black/white theme, sprayed the Talon sprocket black, and used Silkolene white lube on the chain.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Just found the old photoshop I made in Feb 2009, This is what I was aiming for.... ALL The black bits being Carbon, and the white bits white....

Not too far off from my predictions TBH.

Original bike in 2008 when I got it.

Rough prediction

Result...

Got to admit like a few others half way through I was thinking what's he doing... But that does look pretty special now :cool:

Yup, I agree with a few others

First I was "nooooo"
Then it was "hmmmm"
And now it's "mmmmm"

Except for the Cat n Fiddle sticker

Those wheels looks so good!.

I don't like the black and white look. The PS you did looks much better and the red breaks it up nicely.

It needs some colour.

Sorry to read you've now binned it

Hopefully it'll be fixed up soon

So who said carbon stick on bits was a bad idea, they seem to have came in rather useful

Went round a corner to be greeted by a line of stationary traffic, went on the other side of the road to be met with a car, I braked hard and the bike went down, slid part way down the pavement and road

Gutted.

Not bad....
