Aye aye everyone. With a house move coming up and looking for a good excuse for " garage time" I thought I might revisit the shims, and while there put a camchain and guide in. Then, reseal hopefully for life!!
Anyone know the whereabouts and availability of the shim suppository? No rush.....in the bleak mid winter will do..
Have You Seen 'em?

Sounding like a plan already. Hopefully won't need any adjustment anyway but I'll aim for a Dec / Jan farkle. Fits perfik with weather predictions.

I'll be working on it Lee. Bike lift and bench with be going with me. Just need to rig up lighting. It'll be a compromise but workable.
