Yep, Lockheed/Delphi pads. New Lockheed discs, and fairly recent new pistons in the calipers. Apart from the clattering the brakes are absolutely fantastic, I never thought they could be this good! The pedal response is excellent, they're really even, progressive, powerful, pull up totally...

Yes I think so, it's an early disc axle and I'm sure the calipers are original.

I have to do a house move in Paris but I'm wondering if there's any sort of low emission zone like the London one?

After a rear axle rebuild I noticed a load of clattering, rhythmic and corresponding to wheel rotation i.e. proportional to road speed irrespective of being in gear or not, and it stops immediately when braking - even the tiniest touch of brakes silences it every time. Sometimes there's also an...

Hi Steve - sorry but i can't work out the PMs here, messages keep disappearing and I'm not sure if they're sent or not. Therefore continuing on here, after all it isn't secret. Turns out 8 inner tubes weight 8 and a half kilos and will cost £12.60 to post. I would have stumped up a fiver or...

Currently Steve has first dibs but might not want all 8 tubes. Otherwise please both PM me your addresses and I can send you 4 tubes each. If you're (understandably) squeamish about giving out your address I can post it to your nearest post office. The tubes are far too good to go to the dump...

Near Banbury.

Eight 750x16 inner tubes going free. I can post them and you can owe me a beer if we ever meet. One has a puncture, the other 7 are good, none of them have any previous punctures. Four of them are less than a year old and have only done about 5000 miles (including the punctured one).

Very very easy - get a S/H later axle. It's a job for an afternoon, though I took three days about it cos I painted the bits of the chassis that were exposed while it was out, and had to leave paint to dry between coats. Re-bleeding the brakes is about the fiddliest bit. Before doing it I had...

I did that job, it wasn't that hard. As you can see from the pics it was pretty gruesome, a lot worse than your. Most of the time taken was preparation. I bought repair panels, which fitted ok but were a bit generous in places and not generous enough in others, so I cut bits off them and added...

I got one but I found it didn't quite get in there and I had to grind it thinner - I could have done that to a normal socket and saved £15 - and anyway I end up using 9/16 or 14mm spanners a lot anyway cos the socket won't get past the yokes half the time. Sometimes it wastes more time to try...

Yes I saw those - they've got the number ANR5593 so are tube type.

ANR5593PM are tube type, ANR4583PM are tubeless. "Was wondering could I just stick tubeless valves in and chuck the tubes.?" No - if they're tube type rims you must use tubes. Tubeless rims have a ridge that prevents the bead slipping off if it gets a sideways knock. If you hit an...
