Re: Tyre Choices

Ouch! Glad to hear you lived to fight another day. Must admit I've run Conti Twist tyres and always thought they were a good compromise between grip and wear. They seem to have lasted well enough in any case. The trouble is though that they can change the source of a tyres manufacture sometimes, so ...

Re: Veglia Speedo

Re-ranged? If you mean changing it somehow I'm not sure why you would bother. You don't see that at all with the speedo face in place.

Re: Stainless or plated fixings?

Hmmm... I have used stainless in the past for certain items where it would seem to make sense. But I've never gone overboard for it to the extent that I would fit out an entire scooter with it. Maybe that's the key.

Re: Oh I've had it.

Yeah there comes a time, maybe there not for you? but a modern auto really takes the stress out of Scootering and once someone like yourself has been there done it and got all the medals why worry?, you got nothing left to prove, just embrace and relax... I'd go along with that. All the pleasure wi...

Funnily enough I had never heard of them until recently. But yours is the second picture I have seen of Clarks cables in almost as many days.

Stainless or plated fixings?

Forget about Europe and all that. This is one of the most important questions of our time. Some prefer stainless fixings, others don't. I'm not entirely sure why. Something that doesn't rust would seem reasonable. Or is it just a question of authenticity?
