Mito Riders

[Sols]

hardware shop will have it... or just use epoxy putty also can...

 

one part chip off, use epoxy putty, put over the part, make it to the shape you want, abit bigger, let it cure (set) then sand it down...

[Sols]

for fibreglass, you need to wet the fibre sheets with polyesther or epoxy resin.. make it wet wet... then put another layer to fiber, make it wet wet then voala... but on top of that need a layer of gelcoat...

 

Tips for fibreglass, its alot easier to cut when its wet with the resin... don't wait till its dry then try to sand down or cut...

 

FYI, modern small aeroplane wings are made of fibreglass so thats how strong it is when cured...

[DirTmaN]

it really depends....if your resin mixture is wrong...u will not be able to make it strong. Your surface has to be roughen and very clean....or the resin will not stick...cutting it when it is dry is actually better as when its wet u will have resin all over ur hand. As for epoxy resin....dun bother...I tried before before i learnt fibre glassing. I will not hold....it will just split again in time...

 

Tip...Use gloves and mask. Fibre glass will enter ur skin making ur hands very itchy. Breathing in the residue is as good as killing urself. It will never dissolve in ur lungs. Hope my input is of use.

i wish to get it as soon as i pass ma tp but then again im looking at all the costs and that frend of mine the fy cagiva whom i know i might probably take over his bike tooo i dun mind so im jus weighing out the pro's and con's at the moment im not in a rush at all yeah lol... dun wry u guys will sure be there to help me choose ma bike even if not mito can ? ..... if in the end decide smth else ? ... but for now ma mind is fixed and ma cash is inbound and ma dad is on abt getting me a bike so yeah .... hope ma lucky stars shine bright bright ! lol

[Sols]

fibre glass is nonrespirable... you can't breathe it in... according to something i read online... but the way i see it fly when i was doing something a few weeks ago, i think they might need to change that statement... lol...

 

epoxy putty works know... really... i use it at work... but you cannot use it in thin layers... you must make it like a lump of stuff then it will hold...

 

gelcoat is the thing you use in thin layers...

[lioncat]

i had the impression that fibreglass splinters when breathe in will cause lung damage due to abrasion?

 

i remember reading something abt fibreglass workers in the early days. when they took a xray, part of the lungs showed nothing.

 

well, there is a fibreglass factory just opposite my office. i see them wearing special masks all day long.

 

fact or myth, u decide yourself but be careful la.

Good read on fibreglass and such. Maybe next year when i wanna go respray then do up the fairings. for now, i still can live with it.

[jinhanz]

sianz no mito selling currently.

[Kr0n]

Mannu: Since your dad is quite keen on you getting a brand new Mito, try to go with that. If I remember correctly, Minerva offers a 3-year warranty on the bike, labour costs are chargeable though. Better still, call them up to confirm! It ain't difficult =). And I hope many Mito riders will be there...it'll be like the addition of another family member (sounds a bit like Mafia eh? heh). Make it a ceremony or something.

[jinhanz]

bored. haiz....

[MaNnU]

dun get me wrong i never said ma dad is keen on getting me a brand new mito but keen on getting me a brand new bike coz he says rather get a brand new bike rather then a second hand and take out so much to do this and do tat this spoilt that spoilt he said get a first hand brand new and use it 2-3 years then sell it away get another wan ... tas wat he meant so for me getting a second hand mito mite be outa way .. im looking more at all first hand bikes in the 2b category...

[lioncat]

Amjah's my name lah not some random word. By the way i have been riding my mito for 5 plus years now already got my class 2. the arrow is so that i can fully change my bike for one sole purpose trakday toy. its cheaper to play around with a class 2b bike than a class 2 bike.

[Azahael]

Hel brake lines does not do what they say! its an over exagerated! mine fitted with hell brake lines the flex head hose type. it improves feel and not provoke stoppie. Its rathe cheap it cost me only 125 2 years back. should be cheaper now.

Mannu: Ooh I see. Sorry I misunderstood. If I were you, I wouldn't buy from Excel. Wouldn't mince my words on that. If I'm not wrong, there's a Mito at FM now in some unique green paint. Can't remember the plate, but it's the 7 gear version. Condition is average but I'm sure FM will have it done up before putting it up for sale. Since you seem really keen on a Mito, relax and pick the best one you can find.

huh? like dat also can? why he so stupid? i think he has being manpulated by the uncle... anybody can definitely offer better than the uncle... he should at least seek a second opinion... so sad to heard dat... i was actually just as keen as u were on the bike, but he told me he sold it already when i called him... i was still thinking who is the lucky chap here....
