rose joint replacement

[don_matese]

Just replaced my hoop rose joints and found one was snapped. thankfully i hadnt been out on it on a spirited run in a long time. Only a two and a bit mile rush hour commute for the past few months.

Pics to follow wen i am back at a pc.

You were very lucky the other one held out

If that had snapped the rear suspension would have suddenly collapsed, the possible consequences of which don't bear thinking about

I know, had i weighed more than I do it probably would have :-(

Judging from the rust on it, I'm not all that surprised that it seized.
I bet you'll be looking after the new ones a bit better.
Glad you got away with it without coming to grief.
