    Does it reduce the gear change precision if you replace the floaty top wheel with these flash looking alloy ones?

    Isn’t that a bit cheeky?

    Is there anyone out there that knows how to do it?

    Bought my Hayter Harrier at a car boot sale 5 years ago. Go for a Briggs and Stratton engine and an alloy decked one to avoid corrosion. If you want to spend more and if your lucky to find one a Honda Mower is probably the best manufacturer.
    There’s normally some old chap selling mowers at large sales, you can start them up from cold and have a go. Normally £30-£50 a pop.
    That way you can put money towards a bike too 🙂

    2010 plate D4D with 80000 miles, abused by learners. They get 52mpg with 6 speed box.
    Repairs so far
    New turbo
    New bearings in the gearbox
    One piece of rattling trim replaced
    The above were repaired under warranty with no quibble at all.
    100,000 warranty swayed me towards the Toyota and I would buy another as the service has been excellent.

    So, try again to undo the grub screw with an allen key, fully remove. Then does the top cap pull off or unscrew that as well?
    If the allen key hole has been damaged whats next?

    Thank you for your replies, I just wanted to make sure this was the norm.
    I was told that they would keep track of my account continually to ensure it was performing well and change as necessary with my conscent as part of the annual fee.

    I bought new shimano olives and inserts.
    Do you have to buy the whole fitting kit at £20 plus?
    Is it worth upgrading to this hose over standard shimano hose

    Thank you for your replies.
    I’ve seen the online info on sizing but was told a small was ok by someone on e-bay.
    Mike, I’ve no idea on his measurements, but that’s a good point.

    On reflection and now being awake Blazing saddles is correct, ignore most of my post.
    Sticking with the same phone is the cheapest option and take a cheaper provider, a friend got a great deal online for about £10 a month for the sim only.
    If you have the money to buy a new high end phone outright it will work out cheaper, but you need the cash upfront. If your not bothered stick with the old and enjoy the extra cash:)

    I love it over my old i phone 4

    It only cost me £99 to upgrade, on a £36 per month contract. I sold my old phone for £250, this enabled me to buy new bling for my bike 🙂 a rp23 new second hand and xtr rear shifter, I love them both.

    Feels great when using it, thinner, lighter and quicker.
    Camera is amazing for a phone.
    Larger, clearer screen.
    You can sync to I pads, and tether your 3G from your phone so you can use I pad whilst travelling without buying more expensive i pads.

    Most phones do amazing things now, it just comes down to what you can afford. You could upgrade phones and sell the 5 for £480 +
    Good luck

    Cheers for that “twin” just what I wanted to hear:) i had been considering the talas.
    I’ve managed to get a modified rp23 from Tf tuned to replace the stock shock and brain which is amazing if a little costly, I’ll make sure I keep an eye on that pivot!!

    Thanks for your reply, I knew climbing might be an issue but does yours still climb well? I love my bike but would like the front end a bit slacker and plush for trips away to Wales etc.

    My bike- 2005/2006 s works stumpy. Changing to a stock sized shock could be expensive. Bought a 200 x 50 rp23 after speaking to tf tuned. then Tf tuned changed the piston for a 190 piston and changed the internals. Also had to fit offset bushings.
    Tf tuned had to have my frame sent in to make it fit as it wasn’t clearing the Hollowlink.
    Now rides superbly. 🙂
