Mechanical Suffering

June 30th, 2009

When checking the bike over I discovered the chain and sprockets are unlikely to last another trip out and one of the rear wheel bearings has play in it. I took some photos of the suffering of the bike:


A little bit of erosion


and plenty of scratches to the handguards.


A sick looking front sprocket


and a not much better looking rear


The front panel has finally been ripped from its mount on the radiator. This has been likely to happen for a while as it was already badly cracked. I haven’t decided how to fix this yet.


A standard bike footpeg


The footpeg I mostly rebuilt from bits of steel bar


The bike, showing signs of wear but not holding up badly considering.
