I know some IT buffs that will make some offer on the IT if Boony gets cheap on you.OK Axel the tank is yours, if you want it.
Boony is out of the equation re; the IT. I have someone else interested in the IT at the moment but it is first in best dressed at this stage.
I will be up at dads on wed and thurs and I can pic the tank up if axle can get from Newcastle. Not sure if that helps
G’day Pete, you know that might be an idea. Newy is much more accessible for me. If it’s convenient and you have somewhere to put the sucker in the meantime that would be fantastic. Worst case scenario I will be that way in a month but hoping sister in law can pick it up on the way here before then. Cheer mate!
It’s all good mate, I will grab it and bring back with me and you can pick it up when you get the chance, don’t freak out, i dont care if it takes you a month to pic it up I have the room.

1 water tank for Eagle on the listxy-transit wrote:you must be a more in touch rider than i Pete.i went from std. tubes to UHD on the 640 and didn’t notice any difference. but i run my tyres art around 18psi..
yeah i know, not what everyone would choose to ride on. but 18psi and UHD means i ride confident that for my style i will be less likely to get a flat, and it’s where i feel most comfortable at. i tried 10-12 and didn’t feel right to me plus i got flats too easily..
next ride i do i’ll see how pressure affects feel. i’ll start off at 18psi and drop it to maybe 15 then 12 and maybe 10 depending on how the lower pressures
You know how something feels comfortable and then sometimes it just doesn’t, well that’s what happened and through process of elimination I could only think of one thing that was different, the tube. :S
When I learnt to operate harvesters it was flogged into my head that there are three levels,
A steering wheel attendant. :side:
A driver. :silly:
And an operator.
An operator can hear all noises and can notice all the different vibrations of a machine to the point where you can notice a change and catch a blockage or break down before it turns to shit.
Maybe I am more in tune with my bike than I thought, and maybe I did learn something when Rod was yelling at me cause I wasnt paying attention and blew a hydraulic hose and just about emptied all the hydraulic fluid. :blush:
Or maybe it’s all in my weird little head. :blink:
To be honest i think when I hop on my bike next it will all feel fine. :woohoo:PTW
Think I might get on that deal.
Good stuff Mud n Tar. On the OBT birthday ride I was running an s12 with a ultra heavy tube, both were a first for me and things didn’t feel right and so dropped the pressure and as a result the valve tear was my fault. :blush:
Now I’m back with the trusty 404 and an ultra heavy tube but it still doesn’t feel right.STM, so basically the ultra heavy tube will feel harder than a standard tube at the same psi, and if I make sure the rim lock is all good I can drop the pressure and hopefully get close to what im used to.
This is good cause I do like the tubes.PTW
