    PF30 BB facing and reaming tool

    Thanks RB, but I've gotten a bit of distortion from the welding, 0.35mm out of round, and they come undersize purely for reaming after welding.

    PF30 BB facing and reaming tool

    Hi folks, Does anyone have or know of a shop that has the tool listed above? I'm building 2 frames from scratch, and that's the only ream I don't have access too, albeit without forking out 1 kidney from my firstborn. Last resort will be to have them set up in a mill and bore them out. I'm...

    Moto L's and bike choice

    ^^^^^^ correct me if I'm wrong, some of my mates were thinking the same thing for our trip, but I think hire rates are around $1/k Just found a buy back scheme from one of the tour companies, my pockets aren't that deep

    Moto L's and bike choice

    i'm adding to this thread as I came off a KTM 250 exc 2 banger, 1st dirt bike. pretty damn steep learning curve to riding. offloaded that after 18months riding and a tibia plateau break, and got the little white pig. XR400. More of a tractor, better torque curve (not peaky) That advrider...

    Moto L's and bike choice

    I reckon riding an Erzberg/Romaniacs bike would be like shagging a Bat Shit Crazy chick. Fun for a while...... + the bikes winning those races would need a couple team mechanics to follow them along the Canning Stock route. Highly strung race bikes, not forgiving, need an ass made of Titanium...

    Moto L's and bike choice

    I take it that was for the DRZ400S ad... Looks to me like a touring rider not a weekend throttle twister. and less of a shot in the dark than buying from ebay. I would think those 24,000 k were pretty gentle. as in I don't think he's had it over a set of doubles. Plus, the price is same as a...

    A 2.7kg road bike?!

    too many spokes, and they have J bends. spoke nipples too long. headset topcap, get rid of that. gears, gone. shave tread off tyres. remove all logos. :roll: I've dropped things in the toilet heavier than that. Much respect to the builder and time put into building such a weapon!
