MOT & Big Thank You to Bill Jurgenson!
Posted: Wed Nov 20, 2013 11:00 amWell, today was the day, I had replaced all the bearings in the rear wheel checked and greased the linkage, changed the sprocket and chain (more in a minute) and had the electrics checked and overhauled and....SHE PASSED HER MOT!!
All I have to do now is to take the correct papers into town tomorrow and get the disc.
The trip to the MOT station was very interesting because, I had finally bitten the bullet and taken BIll Jurgenson's advice with 43 rear sprocket and a non O ring chain with a link and it has transformed the bike. She spins a little faster, her transmission now makes sense and you can get it into top and not have to tap dance all the time, she is even dare I say it a little flexible and forgiving.
Thank You BIll for some very sage advice!!
