Why would brakes lock up?

I'm feeling a bit lost here as 18 months ago I bought a Nissin Radial master for the Spondon while it was in the workshop having the new loom made up. What I didn't know was that the machanic had ordered a Brembo race unit at the same time, so in the end the Spondon got the Brembo and the Nissin wen...

Who knows?
It's the only logical explanation... it wouldn't be like her to bugger off without saying goodbye first.
Time will tell, I guess.

And last but not least in this context, the straight-six power unit featured in the Concept 6 offers long inspection intervals through the use of cup tappets controlling the engine valves. I'm sure I've heard of another bike using that system. Must be something ultra modern 'cos I can't quite place...

There's no question about it. If you don't ride every round you can't expect top five.

Still, and keeping that in mind, you had a good year, and most importantly of all you enjoyed yourself!

Hope you can afford to keep at it next year... and I wish you all the best for if you do.

Well done. For keeping it shiny side up and not opening the tool box.

Now its in the lap of the gods.
Now there's a new term! Is that the first lap or the last lap? Or the lap the red mist's come down and the tyres are sliding out on every corner???

No, I was thinking of something with a lot less angle, but higher overall, with more of a dog leg in the link pipe... you know, following the line of the sub-chassis.
Didin't have any preconceived ideas to be honest. Still looks good.

Yeah. Looks really good, all of it, although I expected the pipe to be higher still. Fabulous work though, really clean.

I ended up changing the rubbers on the cam-cover bolts. They are what push the cover down. Torquing the bolts makes no difference, as the bolt has a limit only tostop you over-squishing the rubber. Over time the rubber goes hard and pre-squished so doesn't put the same pressure on the cam-cover. You...

I'm sure the 1400's running costs are way higher too. Nice ride by the way!

That didn't come across right.
I meant to say it was a MTB disk and not as thick as a motorbike disk but that it was still really cool to see done; I'd never seen that before and couldn't believe how quick they go.
