heds954 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Ullo If you're not aware, there's a charity run from John o'Gaunt to Lands End on shonky bikes costing no more than £300 riding the whole distance in 24hrs, that's over 900 miles. I'm one of the stupid fuckers brave individuals taking part. Now my bike is taking shape nicely, or rather, was, right up until it was discovered that the forks weren't leaking oil because they were completely devoid of oil due to the seals being in tatters from all the ragging from the pitted stanchions. Anywho, there's now a set of forks from a different manufacturer fitted to them, along with a matching caliper. However, the disc is much larger on the base machine to that of the donor, so in short, I need a bracket making so that the caliper can sit a bit further out. Can any of you practical, handy with a milling machine types help out? It is for charidy though, so I'm cheekily asking if anyone would do this for the greater cause and oodles of positive karma.
