They will never bend good stuff !

They might bend just not as easily as the flimsy standard ones they are en16 so they have a bit of flex in them with good memory. But if they are bent beyond they can be pressed straight without fatigue quite a few times

Which part of cumbria you going to on Sunday dave?

Like this Steve, where the red arrow is Kendal



Some of our favourite 'lanes, being as it's just a day-trip!

Dave

Cool, there's alot of good lanes round here in the Lake District, we have a trial on this Sunday thatsb why I asked but it's a good hour from where you are laning, my friend actually owns a lot of the land around one of your favourite lanes up nibthweight at coniston.

Yes, great part of the world... we regularly do a weekend in the summer and then sneak back later to do some favourites for the day...

Nibthwaite is great, one of my Top 5 'lanes!

I have the same kit fitted and the front wheels are slightly wider than the rear

Hi Rich

Yes, there's 10mm spacers on the front hubs in the Rob Storr kit.

Doesn't stop them being aligned properly though? Have had a mate do them before with laser alignment, they just hang plates on the front and rear wheels and can adjust for that (I presume?)

Having just fitted the new Redacted HD steering bars, I've aligned everything by eye myself for now this time, test driven it and it seems fine... So haven't bothered my mate to laser align it this time...

Is that land 'playable' on?

I've had them fitted about 2years but just had to replace the tie rods for mot other week and got a slight wobble and pulling to near side
Will try my local wheel place tomorrow

Pulling to one side is more than likely a sticking caliper - to test that theory out, drive Jimny for about 10mins then go feel your Hubs on either front wheel - if both are still cold, then Caliper isn't sticking.

Mine is sticking now, and my O/S Hub is warm/hot whereas my N/S is cold! Replacing it tonight!

Whoops! Checking the Jimny over ready for the weekend...



Seems the rear nearside shock skid guard has had a good fight with a rock... and lost!

Did it's job and protected a £90 shock from damage though!

Best order a new one... that will take some straightening! LOL

Yep looks like it's had a good smack Dave
