Wanted / Re: Early TT600 rod bearing and crank pin wanted
« Last post by Wasp on May 21, 2025, 11:03:40 am »
Years ago I made my own to build the 88mm long stroke cranks. Use C45 steel , hard chrome it and then grind it down to the perfect size H7 or F7 (ISO tolerance ). Any good machine shop can do it for you . Warm the outer and freeze the pin to assemble .

 Most send them to RAD hardchroming in Brisbane, best in the business and great people to deal with. Straightening isnt a difficult job with a press and a pair of Vee blocks. All they are are hydraulic rams and Im sure there would be a few Hydraulic workshops in the are who can help you out or ask an engineering workshop  if they would take a look

There's a suspension specialist north of Raymond Terrace.

Lists quite a few services but no mention of straightening. Worth a try.

Hello team, I have 5 sets of 35mm forks that I need straightened. Does anyone know someone in the Hunter Valley that does this work?

Hi Everyone,
That is not nice at all . :'(


Yes did seem a bit over the top.
It is true to say that I don't post on here very often but that doesn't mean I am not following what is going on.

The forum has gradually declined over the last few years like other forums that I follow and this is my humble opinion that I will share here:

The post that we three are referring to is an excellent example of why forums are doing exactly that, declining!

Obviously we all share similar passions or we wouldn't be looking here but can't we all get along? My only requests are please proof read what you are about to post and put yourself in whoever's shoes (or riding boots ) you are criticising?

Wow, about 60% of voters want more immigration, continued housing shortage, more crime, more inflation, more woke stuff, more pollution, more clever indoctrination starting at Kindy all the way till Uni and mass sporting events. I rest my case.  :o :o :o :o

If there was a subject to study in right wing propaganda and specious talking points, you'd have a doctorate.


You and Andrew Bolt need to buy yourselves a couple of mirrors and look long and hard into them for the first time in your miserable lives.


Go on Boomer, we'll wait while you finish your banal whining.
Hi Paul, in response to your post. I am happy with my life. I have done many things other people can only dream of. I raced or ridden in every continent but Africa with a positive mix of achievements and experiences. Lucky to share 4 kids with my wife of 36 years and all 4 have a degree. I would not call that miserable at all. Business is also doing well. As far as your labelling goes, all could not be further from the truth. I am a conservation green person (not a woke wierdo greenie LOL). My hobby is to preserve and breed endangered native species up to class 3. Yes, I am stuck with the old values and I believe they could be fashionable again in the not-so-distant future. My energy comes from the roof, the water from the tank, vegetables fruit, fish, eggs, and meat from my own land. If that makes me a right-wing propagandist, I am happy to live with that. I would not swap with you LOL.

From my limited understanding:

When Dutton was elected leader of the opposition I thought Labor was given a free election win or two.
Albanese managed to make himself so unpopular, I thought the election was Duttons to lose.
Lose it he did: Apart from those with investments in commercial real estate, who thought attacking “work from home” was a good idea? Lying about building Nuclear Power stations was also fraught with danger. Those that believed it were split 50/50ish in support/opposition, and half of them would have been disappointed. The rest of us just thought he’d lost his mind.
