so the machine didn't really help then?

[Sharpey]

It would seem not.... Even the "expert" guy who installed the machine wasn't able to install a tyre on the rim without it bending...

 

Wee said he'll try and experiment with it... but that it's likely that these $85 rims were designed to be 1 use only! The metal is really soft and bends under the pressure...

[Wildswans]

Dun really know.....

 

Just know that they are still experimenting with it right now....

[Wildswans]

So everytime there is a punture, we'll have to change tyre and rims too?

[Wildswans]

The rims come naked or already fixed on with tyre?

[Sharpey]

well yeah... that seems about right at the moment... If & When a better alternative arrives, the rim will at least be reusable....

 

Punctures don't happen all that often Swans... not to worry...

[Sharpey]

The Fabbri rims that TA sells come with tyre pre-installed.... the Vietnam one's will come as nature intended...

[Wildswans]

Okie....

 

Baby kooning?

[Sharpey]

cranky day today...

[Wildswans]

Oh no......

 

Hope he's okie.....

 

Babies have mood swings too

[Wildswans]

Do you guys wax your scoot?

 

Wat brand of wax you use?

[Wildswans]

Sharpey: think the rubber thing on my brake handle needs to be changed.... is it a small job?

[zen n 2wheels maintenance]

humm, that's not good.

then how do people using battlax tyres get them on their scoots? don't tell me everyone's willing to try and error when it's only 50% chance that it won't bend?

[zen n 2wheels maintenance]

i use combi of both wax & polish from armoral, like the smell haha

[Wildswans]

Tot of buying the wax but dun think i'm one of those pple who will wash and wax regularly so dun wanna watse money

[Wildswans]

That's a good question... i wanna know too

[zen n 2wheels maintenance]

the wax/polish thing gets ride of oil stains too so quite handy after mechanic's TLC

[Wildswans]

Cool...

 

Maybe will try....

 

Finally covering my scoot

[etwy]

waxing is a must for me. The smoothness is priceless

[Blues]

Been a tiring and stressful Sunday.

 

Glad all things have come to a good ending.

===============

What you use?

[SuVespa]

Content in using tubes......for the wheels that is

[Wildswans]

Not working today?

[ahqi]

i juz scrub my scoot using normal washing detergent =.=

[weeable]

I use liquid turtle wax. quite good and easy to use. just apply and wipe off.

 

went to LAB with whazzup just now. Got the helmet at bargain price! 30 bucks! and bought low smoke 2T, $5.50. Is that 2T good? i was quoted 16 bucks for 2T gold.

 

And i do feel that shell petrol does give better mileage, what do u guys think?
