I think it depends on the year of wheel you have.... Some had the 20mm spindle, others 22mm. Both conditions require the use of a special spindle as the wheel...

Larry since you seem to have the time, why don't you send it to me. If you can't find it, maybe there is a reason it is out of print. Keith Code also says...
Thanks lads, Smithy has answered the question re the front wheel bearings when he says that some hrc front spindles are 22mm o.d. The problem was that I could...

Geez, Victor Tony Foales book is still available online. The geometry of the rear end dictates whether it will rise or fall under acceleration. Obviously the...

Hi Billy, I agree that you need to get it all working in harmony. If you take your feet off the pegs you have dramatically reduced the amount of force you can...
