"ITS 01" update...
Now know as "IT 01" as the S was scruffy and I think, "Information Technology 01" is kind of more appropriate for Sir Clive Sinclairs baby
OK, the front brakes are not inoperative as I thought, it was the over inflated inner tube pushing out the tyre and getting stuck in the brakes.
I have fitted the wheels with new inner tubes although the tyres look pretty knackered they will be OK while I get it up and running.
The only thing stopping it working now is a pair of leisure battery connectors and the chain tensioner. For the latter I need some guidance.....
I read in the shop that you can buy a "Chain Tensioner Y-Clip Replacement" but I can also buy a "Chain Tensioner Clip Kit", the photos of the bits look different although they sound like they are doing the same job. If anyone has the time it would be good if you could cast your eyes over the photos above of my tensioner and let me know which bit I need. I will also be buying an anti chain bounce of device.
After that I am planning to fit new side stripes and maybe a funky LED bulb. Can anyone tell me (objectively) if they give a good light. I have found that my LED wind up torches are some what lame. I wondered if the LED bulb is more bling than functionality, which would be fine but if that's the case I will stick with the standard bulb. On the other hand if they are brighter and can be seen more clearly and illuminate the path/road better then I'll have one.
