I use the Marc Parnes balancer and it works great. Never tried the balancing beads, and don't intend to.
Nice job.
Kind of. The fluid return hole is located under that flat piece of sheet metal that sits in the master cylinder. If you lift up that piece you'll...

Sounds like a great time. You really have to work at it to not enjoy riding in Colorado.
:potstir: That was the rear!!
Well past the limit??!! That thing was well past the limit about 10,000 miles ago. LOL
I'll have to admit that if I drove in what passes for normal traffic in California I would be dressed to the nines. Too many cars, too many BDC,...

I'm with Karazy, except for the GoPro part. :smug: I might spend $5 or $10 bucks to fix it, but I sure wouldn't spend over that. No sense in it....
I always hate to hear about someone going down, but glad to hear that it wasn't as bad as could have been. Hope your insurance, or theirs is good...
Yeah, looks like your chain line from front to rear sprocket could be off causing the wear. You need to check the parallelism of the sprockets....
If a loose steering stem is not addressed immediately then you'll have to replace them sooner rather than later. If you stay on top of the...
