Sorry, meant to say that when you change your front tyre it will pay to change the valve. I forgot to change mine and the rubber seal around the valve is slightly perished from age and causes a very very slow leak.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I was in Wales, Dyffryn Ardudwy to be precise, at the end of may, and it was scorching then, that costal road is a really nice biking road!!
That's a top bit of work researching that brake disc. Thank you it will come in handy.
Not finding many about. With shipping and exchange, I wouldn't be saving much money over other brands, but a great find nonetheless. It would be nice to trash these old rotors. My left keeps warping, even after truing it several times on a lathe.

I guess it's easier to find Chinese bike parts in Europe, although Lifan where trying to relaunch in the US last year -https://rideapart.com/articles/lifan-aims-for-us-market-2017

I could never afford one, but if I could it would be a black '32 with a raked out grill, flathead and Stromberg's... I can dream.I/we want to see your Highboy coupe...

Thanks for the heads up on the disc - just got one, went out today for 92 miler to run it in! Perfect fit & looks good. Saves 2 lbs in weight. It was the last one that Chinesepartsonline had in stock, £40 incl delivery with a bit of discount as it was very slightly shop-soiled.

Ah you bugger! I've been scoping the site out for months and its been out of stock every time! I really wanted another one as a spare, maybe I'll just give 'em a bell. Glad you got one and got it sorted, it's weird how it's a perfect fit for an XS.
