Seriously though if the tyres can't be changed without scratching rims... Or a properly prepped/painted setup that will last against track work... Surely possible?

Can be done with car rims. Can't see it being much different

powder coating is hard to scratch in my experience

Two things that usually kill people on bikes, being their own stupidity/inexperience or other drivers on the road. The latter can't always be avoided but there are certain ways to ride in traffic that improve your chances of surviving :thumbsup:

I think that can be said for cars as well.

It can be, but chalk and cheese as far as the accident outcome goes.

So true, my old man has ridden bikes since the dawn on time.

On another topic.

SAU VIC are having a scavenger hunt, members only on Sunday. But anyone can turn up to the BBQ at the end point.

So if any of yous wastelanders are bored on Sunday around lunch, head down.

Watch out for the SAU VIC flags.

Plus it's going to be great weather! 31 Deg or something

Korean bike, not the best quality but have come a long way and look awesome, especially for the dollars. Would be perfectly suitable for a bike on your restrictions, probably what I would get if I did it again. Don't sound half bad either.

I thought megelli were British, though made of Taiwanese parts

huh, my bad you are correct. I generally slump anything Asian that's not Japanese into Korea. I was aware the company was different though but generally go by where they're made.

'Designed in Europe'

Made in Taiwan

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
