Hi Guys & Girls,

Have entered into Castle coombe but my front brake caliper is completely knackered, does anybody have one or know where we can get a hold of one.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The mounting bolt centres will be either 65mm or 40mm spacing.

ah ha,

That would be 40mm.

Thanks Ghost, great racing with you at Cadwell, you wouldn't give in around Charlies 2, Mansfield or into the bus stop, thought it was graet you going down the inside of the guy into the bus stop with me going round the outside, I really enjoyed it. I was the naughtly schoolboy wearing the wrong trousers ... I mean tyres, I will be enjoying the pleasues of new spangly correct rubber at CC.

Ah a certain Mr Owen, those tyres stood out like a 60 Watt light bulb.
I have never been to Castle in my life so should be interesting.

I have a spare 40mm caliper. I live in Coventry away this weekend up L/pool way, or can bring Fri evening to the Castle.

that's because he lit them up, the regular encumbent could only manage a 15 watt display!!

Stop it Coxy, let's put the tyre mistake to bed eh !!!

Hi Ghost,

And I just thought you were all looking at my shiny bike !!!

It would be very very much appreciated if you could bring it with you to CC, I'll also be down there Friday night so if you could bring it with you that would be great.

I rode at CC last year in with the KTM's, the circuit is a blast and quite easy to learn, the first corner is fantastic, pushing the bike to the left whilst you move over to the right before tipping it in, and all you can see is spectators in front of you !!!

Will catch up for a beer on Friday.

Thank you very much again,

Steve
