New wheel bearings on the RV. Waiting on a box of bits to try get the motor running and then will decide if it's a eastcape job or just take the ol faithful.

Sorry I forgot to check yesterday, will try to remember when i get home tonight. Just thinking more about it, there is definitely two dipstick holes on the rd28 blocks, and the unused one will have a little brass plug in it, which you just punch out. (My Rd is in a Gloria and uses front bowl so ended up swapping dipstick locations from the patrol). I don't think I have bits to suit rear bowl but will see what I've got and let you know. The last patrol Rd I got had already had the dipstick and holder taken off.

I should be able to help, I have a couple of rd28s in stock. Will take a look and report back.

Nah. Double cabs are dumb. We all know none of us have friends, so why waste valuable tray space

Crikey, sounds like it's lucky you've still got front teeth!

It's a Lancia Fulvia.

The badges on it say so haha

Fuck yeh this is awesome.

Random question. With the front fork, I understand why the axle is where it is (to get some offset/trail or whatever the proper term is). Did you consider mounting the axle on the front/forwards of the fork to achieve the same offset but not run such an angle on the forks? Most rigid forks I've seen (where the axle is generally in line with the forks) have a sweep in them so the angle at the crown is more or less parallel with the steerer but the sweep gives the offset. Just wondering how that angle at the crown will go when you huck it to flat. Maybe that's what they mean when they say huck up pray haha.

Or I've just not looked at enough rigid bikes and this is normal.

I have an rv50 in parts that I was planning on building up.

But I also have my v50 that's a proven ADV bike.

So I'll continue telling myself that I'll build the rv50 but then just turn up on the v50.

If you had 20 kgs of platinum it would be worth a few hundred million bucks

Wat.

Platinum is about 50k/kg, so 20kg is a million bucks. 

This months CJC vs OS meet will be Thursday 29th July 7pm at the Cock and Bull (Maui St in Te Rapa)

Did see @Geophy and ? 

I was the ? haha. I clicked afterwards who you were (while I was waiting in line for a hot dog) so apologies for not saying hi, I just figured it was some random that knew geophy.

@Geophy will be able to add some actual advice I suspect (shock horror, real advice on the internet!)

Edit - that was aimed at Torrie, not you Pete
