I havent checked here for a while as i havent been online as much as i used to be.

I did the greymare event, what a race. It was far tougher than i expected and i retired half way through after knocking myself stupid after a failed attempt at 'flying' without the bike. It was a real eye opener but ...

I got the disc from leisuretrail, just asked for a replacement disc for a mk1, its a moto x disk and cost £55 which seemed about right to me

Thanks slider, i didnt think it would be a problem, new disc looks alot nicer than the old one 8)

I have just received my front brake disc from leisuretrail and its a moto x one, looks good but the plastic cover that goes with the standard disk wont fit, will this be a problem? I wouldnt imagine it would be.

I would take the cheap crappy front ones back, if it bollocksed your rear disc why risk the front aswell?
I had to replace my front disk today as its got a small crack in it which could fail scrutineering. £55 for a new one and the rear is the same price.
I always use ebc pads and find them ...

Thats a good point considering the amount of time my bike spends on its side

I use white spirit to clean off the glue left behind

Is it worth routing this to the air box if your going to be riding in deep mud and water? If so is there a special way of routing it?

Did a search on that site and the mk1 rear pads are different, i cant get moto x pads for mine

Does anyone have a part number for the brake pads as my local bike garage were struggling yesterday

Im also after decent pads for my mk1, there a different shape to the mk2 onwards

Does anyone know if the nut is metric or imperial as my imperial 15/16th iirc fits it better than any metric spanner i have?
The nut still grips really well, most nylocs are knackered after a few uses but this one seems good.
I think its castleated, or something like that!

mine is a lock nut, i was under the ipression that you can only replace lock nuts a certain no of times

Im happy with that, just worried about what scrutineering will say about it for my hare and hounds

I have taken the rear wheel off a few times and re used the same nut, my old bikes have all had split pins that you replace. Do i need to replace the nut or does it have many uses left?
