Re: 1986 T5 rear hub oil seal conundrum
ahhh was hoping it might be done externally. i wonder if running it with a loose hub allowed oil and dirt build up inside the hub. <does this look right and unmolested? should there be any dust cap in T5 ??? http://i445.photobucket.com/albums/qq176/soulacola/IMG_4049_zpsl9a0tyo3.jpg http://i445.phot...

1986 T5 rear hub oil seal conundrum

Re: Running a Standard TV 175 S3
standard bikes are great when they have been unmolested. the tv175 was and is designed to provide reliable all day transport when treated correctly in a very competitive 60's market place. why wouldnt it be reliable. everybody got used to constant maintenance and waiting for the problem on tuned sco...

Re: Oil/ petrol Mix
i use a shade under 3% with a car lude 2 stroke oil in an iron barrel gp150 for round town. i always err to caution for long distance and go 4%. never had a problem with this in 1000's of miles. dare say a good quality oil will run as low as 2% though. with all the s**t modern petrol containing etha...

Re: ADIDAS GP RB230.... one we done!
