Title: Bored at work so i started to play
Post by: pickle on May 09, 2007, 03:20 PM: Got shot of the useless caliper front brake and fitted this 990 and plate which i got off Alex (cheers mate top notch!!) it was a little fiddly to set up but not too bad.........a marked inprovement on the caliper. Sticks like poo to a blankie! :daumenhoch:

I'm going to get a knife and tidy up the inner tube i used to try and stop my forks from scratching too much.....but untill i can afford some nice new white forks with lugs on, this will do nicely! :daumenhoch:

The boss keeps saying to me......."when are you going to cleen this desk up?"

Stock response is......"tomorrow boss" :2funny:
