Hiya Everyone,

A heads up for Scrambler and Bonnie owners, I just got the latest Classic bike guide magazine through the post and it has an advert from a company called The tank shop. They have got alloy front and rear mudguards for sale. If anyones interested I can type the rest of the info.

My America question,
I should be changing the rear tyre this weekend, it will be my first time so my Dad is going to teach me. But are there any little niggles that I can be forwarned to look out for? (Except to watch out for my Dad throwing spanners at me! lol)

Also in the magazine theres a guy that sent a pic of his customized Bonnie black with a write up, that should be great for the parts websites, even New Bonneville got a mention!

Take care when you slack the chain adjusters that you don't slack them too much and let the bolts protrude into the axle slot, that'll save you from buggering up the threads. Also, take a note of the left side spacer so you'll know the proper way it goes back on. And, a bungee is handy for hanging the rear caliper from the fender stay while the wheel is off.
