Stopped by my mates place en route for a brew…………it’s addictive this twist and go lark Already been scouring the usual places for unnecessary bling and I can confirm it’s mostly chavtastic. Bring it on! Maybe you can get a colour matched shopping bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twist and go gear changing is so last century! I like the idea of that Just had a look on Amazon.es and you can buy a set for about 55 euros but there are so many different one/sizes so how will I know which one to go for?

J Costa variator gives good results, but it works differently to a standard variator and needs a little more frequent maintance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s okay, the scooter came with a big tub of Vaseline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that will be fine given that there is no combustible material like wood anywhere near it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted November 1, 2025 Share Posted November 1, 2025 the weather is still shyte here, and what's more the place is crawling with police and CRS cos there's a footy match Auxerre Vs Marseille here this evening so the marseille brain dead wankers are expected by busload anytime during the afternoon. I would corral them all in to a large carpark and then call in an air strike from the nearest Rafale squadron, but apparently that's not allowed...

By all accounts Marseille have quite a tasty firm so I’ve no doubt it’ll be a busy night for the Old Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted November 1, 2025 Share Posted November 1, 2025 Just now, busabeast said: Looks like my old trailer but mine was a. 3 bike trailer I am going to convert it to a single bike trailer. Gonna clean it up, paint it, get a storage box, ramp box, tie downs, reflectors, lights and should be ready to use. With what I paid for the trailer should be all ready to use for around £250 which is not to bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted November 1, 2025 Share Posted November 1, 2025 1 minute ago, Marcel said: Not bad at all for 250....around here that would go for 1500....ridiculous how prices have gone up , just a regular little trailer..just the frame basically are selling in the 2500 bucks... You can buy a complete single bike trailer here for around £700, not sure of the conversion to canabucks, but still much cheaper to buy a decent frame and turn it into what you want here.

These are what Dr. Pulley advise as a direct replacement for the standard rollers, they are a little lighter than the factory fitted rollers, most Dr. Pulley sliders are a little lighter, that helps with acceleration.
