Hard to guess really, arch - tyre gap is about 10mm i suppose?

Lowered 40mm maybe? First thought about 60mm but after thinking about that, i dont think its anywhere near that..

Got to be more than -40mm, my gap is about 10mm and am lowered much more than 40mm
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Not if they leave the sensor in there lol

I believe it's only minor this time so it can be repaired. Steve agreed he's down more than 40mm, more like 60mm+

I'll have a measure up when I see him next
