ok i`v had a lot of messages for prices
so i will put a full list together and post it over the weekend as soon as i get time
no offence jon but some of those items you bought are a waste of money as its been pointed out there for mx
not saying it wont work because it will but in my mind its worth spending a bit more to make life easy.
those small levers are ok with race tyres but wait till you get a bridgestone or michelin road tyre!


They aint a waste of money if they do the job mate but i see what youre saying.

I didnt really need the bearings on each side as the bar is a perfect fit on the wheel bearings and it runs well on those.
