Post by AshLeMacq »

Hey Chaps.

i work in it too, but only when it's at pressures from 50 to 232 bar :D

good idea to get them right - now the rain's eased i'm going down to check mine out, as a friend's dad (always a good source :roll:) says dodgy pressure in one tyre might be the reason i had a little (non-damage) incident yesterday... quite possibly the new tyre the garage put on when it was last in? could also explain the cockeyed handling of late maybe.
