Re: hi from norfolk

are you having problems with things dropping off>?
these pitbikes are known to need a little attention (cough cough)
4 of us would go out on our bikes with a car boot full of tools and spares, its a hobby of expense and sometimes anger lol

buy yourself some loctite and get em bolts covered

welcome by the way

Re: hi from norfolk

Welcome to the forum, Where abouts in Norfolk you from?

If you ride an r1 you may enjoy sticking some slicks on the pitbike and riding the sm tracks with us

well mate rings arnt expensive but the hassle of changing them
see if you can source some better quality ones!!
stomp and wpb are same company who build em m8, you might have just got some duff rings or maybe someone put onion rings in instead
