Bit of an update:

http://www.jamesblackburn.co.uk/C5/ <-- the march folder

Been quite a while getting to this stage. Still have to get a few bits from Mr Harper.

Serious amount of WD40 on the chain and its running like new.. (well nearly)

Hopefully I'll be up and running by the summer... I also need tyres & inner tubes

cheers, Its quite tricky as i'm doing all the work in the loft. I live in a first floor flat which isn't ideal for C5 storage.. But you don't think of that when you've got the bug do you.

Having re assembled the front brake mechnism i'm having problems with it. When I tighten the nuts up they are either too tight stopping the brakes from pinching together or too loose and the whole thing wobbles about all over place.. have I done something wrong?

Also what are the stock levels like for the follwing parts on the c5alive shop:?


- wide 18 drive belt
- full set of tubes and tyres
- brake cable set
- anti chain bounce off
- decal set


Also what the best way to contact Adam harper for the cream fingers?

The front locking nut might need a bit of tweaking ?

Also what are the stock levels like for the follwing parts on the c5alive shop:?


- wide 18 drive belt no problem
- full set of tubes and tyres only a couple of sets of rears at the moment,new stock on order
- brake cable set no problem
- anti chain bounce off no problem
- decal set no problem


Also what the best way to contact Adam harper for the cream fingers?
