Re: Anyone in Fife or Edinburgh willing to hire/lend a pela

Thanks for the replies guys, I have pm'ed Alacrity to get more info about the added cooling system. Gordon I have been offered the use of a pump so I will try it out and see if it's something I want to add to my tool kit so I might get back to you. I've read the fact sheet and had some useful advise...

Re: Anyone in Fife or Edinburgh willing to hire/lend a pela

Thanks for the replies guys, I tried a cheap one this morning but couldn't get it to start pumping, maybe the fluid wasn't warm enough but I was worried about it being too hot that it would melt the tube. :( Also the container it had with is was only a litre and thought that if I could get hold of s...

Re: Gap in the bodywork

Thanks again guys. The gaps around the doors and bonnet look fine I have taken a couple of photos of the underside of the rail and it does look like it has a small bow but I don't know if it's enough to make a difference. I guess I just want to know if it's something I need to be worried about http:...

Re: Gap in the bodywork

Thanks for the replies. The gap on the nearside is about 1cm and the gap on the off side is about half that. Like I say the ride has become harsh as well which makes me think that by being up on the ramp something has happened. whether allowing the shocks to fully expand has now made them less resis...

Gap in the bodywork
