Changing the Sprocket Carrier bearing as well @Hooli ?

No. That failed quite spectacularly just 5k ago so got a decent replacement. Good call though, I normally would.

Yeah, I thought they were made in the US. All the advertising suggests that's the case, although it turns out to be lies.

Hooli. its written in the fine print. Mate has a gearbox shop, max distance from Chinese bearings in them is 100th K. My ute is Toyota, made in Thailand, gearbox noisy from day one but hasnt changed in 120 th. The best bearings.  :rofl2: Had front fail, japanese on Honda 4 at 29 th. Ks. Made in Germany belt tensioner at 20 th. Luck of the draw im thinking.

Koto Kyoto? I can't remember the spelling, bearings sourced. I'll collect them this afternoon, so this morning is breakfast, refit swingarm & pull the old bearings out ready.

I put new rear brake braided line, happy with the look! :smitten:

I'm not sure I'd trust that not to flap about & rub on the disc.

Any reason you didn't follow the original route for the hose?

No chance it can touch the disc. Only reason for routing that way is looks (for me).

Hooli

Fair enough, I prefer the normal route but it's your bike.

My 14 is back together & working great again. Holds it's line better on bends & feels happier lent further over, which is all good.

Rear tyre didn't sodding arrive though, it'd better turn up monday as running out of time now.

This was my thought too when I saw it posted on Facebook..I couldn't comment though because they have banned me from posting for 3 days for using the word "Skank". Apparently it goes against their Community Standards :devil: :devil:
Assumption is the mother of all fuck ups!

FB police are a load of lefty truth hating shanks though, so I'm not surprised.
