Bike shops these days...

Took the upper triple clamp off the Darmah today and was left with the threaded steerer tube and this wee beastie of a nut.

I've seen these on bicycles before, and had a tool for my first Klein Quantum Pro that was similar to what is ...

Re: Exhaust Nuts, etc. (safety wire)

I noticed on your blog that the exhaust nuts were loose upon removal. If the nuts haven't been drilled for safety wire, with a corresponding anchor point on one of the cylinder head fins for each nut, they will continue to become loose due to vibration regardless of the amount of torque applied ...

Starting with removing the rear caliper, then instrument removal, rear cylinder breather can, and then ending with taking the battery out.

I would like a set Campagnolo replica's from Marchesini, but they are way to expensive...!!
I met them on the Ducati World Weekend 2000 in Italy, they exposed an exact replica of the gold, 5 spoke Campagnolo, but made from cast aluminum.
They told me they bought the rights from Campagnolo to ...

Re: Aluminum Replica Campagnolos

At some point, I too would like to have a pair of the five-spoke, four-bolt Campagnolos replicated in forged aluminum. I have been told that Marchesini may do so upon special request for a premium cost, and plan to contact them within the next month to inquire. Another prospective manufacturer for ...

The frame, swingarm and centerstand were built in 1994. Over the course of thirteen years, this frame had four different motors in it, but had never seen the road until this past May!

Yeah, I could have painted it, but then that would just mean less riding time this season. If I do end up powder ...

Re: Campy Wheels

As you can tell by looking at the pictures above, the magnesium Campagnolo wheels are already corroded on the outside, the inside will be worse for sure!
Don't drive them anymore, they are very dangerous, and can brake without warning....(they have the internal strength of old bread).

Which ...

don;t touch the paint. get her running and enjoy her. The bike is a treasure........ whatever you do do NOT part it out.

I'd agree with that. That thing's no where near the "part it out" category.

Re: Campags

A few years back I was (and still am) putting my Darmah back together. I noted that there were hairline cracks on all the "spokes" at the join to the rim. I could never trust it after that , I don't know that it was terminal but it made quite a nice bonfire. There was no white powder or any other ...

Re: campies

BevHevSteve wrote:don;t worry about it. The white powder is just the oxydation of the magnesium. My old DyMags did the same thing. Kept doing so until I refinished them.
Does anyone make replacement look-alike Campagnolo decals for the wheels?
