No reserve on this bike, but lets say the sprocket came off the hub and the hub is pretty fudged, waiting for a new hub to arrive, no idea what happened. At a guess it looks like the bolts shaked off, so I will be replacing every nut with stainless steel nylon locking nuts  :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Don't knock it  :grin: Its got to last till summer.

Build quality would be spot on if they spent a £1 on shake proof washers and locking nuts. Followed by an additional £10 for better bearings.

First oil change done, new tires on, been playing with sprockets too. Re-jetted higher up as I was lean, adjusted idle as well. Lubed everything I could. Lets see how it lasts.

Blogs been updated regularly that's in my sig
