Front Brembo Wheel Needed

#1 Post by D-Rider » Wed Jun 29, 2011 4:18 pm

Some of you may have missed the fact that Oddkid has had a bit of a mishap with his Mille .... info HERE

Oddkid can't remember the accident as he was knocked out cold and is bruised all down one side. Painful but nothing broken.

His bike is a little worse than first thought. The biggest issue being a buckled front wheel.

So, if anyone has a spare Brembo front wheel for Mille / Falco that they are trying to flog, then Oddkid is your man (or let Will or me know)

I have a spare one that I can lend to tide him over but don't want to sell it - so if anyone has one to sell .....

I am hopefully going to pick up the yellow shock and linkages this weekend and the breaker may have one their prices seem ok and they say they add new bits daily as opposed to all at once the short version is do you want me to ask them for you ? (they already have the rear on there and front disk and bits)


and GWS to both bike and rider

Certainly wouldn't do any harm to enquire, Flatlander.

Cheers

the rear is 75 so you may be able to talk them down

fronts are rarer.... hence the price difference


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

He said it was surprising how many of the bikes they got in had new rubber and or full petrol tanks.
