    You know it's getting serious when the overalls go on and the grinder comes out.
    Always good to have a handy welder person around. Nice job all 'round !!

      Hi hun I saw your comment on the chain riveting and now it's disappeared? or deleted? I was going to reply. Unfortunately I was unable to work over the weekend due to circumstances and ill health. I wouldn't want you thinking I was ignoring you and I always appreciate your support. Take care and thanks :)

    Save your money and use petrol to clean up part's, in stead of WD-40

      Yes petrol would do the job thanks but less fumes and luckily I can source WD-40 at a cheap price.

    Pray forgive me, Fair Maid of the North . . . for one horrible moment there, I thought you were flipping that rear sprocket over to bolt it back on . . . I know times are tight, but as for wanting to wear down the other side of those teeth . . . pointless.
    "Aye, couple of quick burn outs to straighten out the teeth & it'll be fine . . ." Sorry, how dare I doubt your wisdom : ) x
    P.S. I know English girls with more 'pull' than that old return spring . . . struggling to think of more than two though, but . .

    • @Ratqueenbikes
      @Ratqueenbikes  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks hun and what you like lol. You want to hear something funny!! I wondered why the chain had been so close to the tyre. Turns out the rear sprocket was on wrong way round in the first place lol. There's a dip on it which should have been at the front. The bikes had a hard life but it's in good hands now :)
