You still coming up Buxton way a lot for the missus Drew??

Just remember not to drop it too much...............you know what the roads are like up here  :sad:  :wink:

Just got a 40mm kit from here and I'll be fitting it over the Easter weekend, hopefully I'll keep me fillings!

Silly low in the end, 90mm front and around 80mm rear, would never go that low again to be honest.
