MT Riders Club

Thanks for the suggestions, was easier to buy from lms £30 total inc. post. All rebuilt with new bearings, now just need the wheel done. Also the rear shocks look tatty, may have to do something there, blimey this is getting expensive

Did you fix it?

The hub is fine and the corroded spoke ring is a separate piece that I've already ordered from Gary. Just concerned others may have similar issues in the constant wet mud and salt?

I mostly use FB groups for my MT these days. Wondering how many others do this too? Doesn't have the wealth of information here, but it's quick and easy. I shared an image of issues with my rear wheel, specifically the magnesium rear spoke ring breaking up with corrosion. Also my brake liners came u...

Mine's got the dellorto and it has run perfectly for the last 12 years. Initially i had a problem with its float leaking/sinking but that's all. I also had an original inlet hose (between carb and engine) fail/crack a couple of times but caused by tightening the jubilees too much, now they ar we jus...

cheers for the info, did the rears 5 yrs ago, doubled bearings if i recall, they're still fine but i don't deep ford it these days
