None, the arm went straight onto the FD mount as supplied by Pyga.

 

The spacers inside the chain guide, used what was in the packaging to make it align, all done during the build by Grant Usher hat assembled/build the bike, with me having coffee and taking lots of photos.

Good day everyone.

 

I Just want to give you a small update. Shrek's first parts arrived this afternoon. It's going to

be another month or so before I'll have everything to start building. I'm super excited and can't

wait ! There is one thing that is worrying me........My Wife has seen one or two of the invoices

for some of the stuff that I have bought so far and she is starting to look at me in a way that is

making me somewhat nervous ! Does anybody know if that's normal ?

 

Cheers vir eers !

yes, it's normal. bike goods are overpriced, but if she understands what things cost and you're managing your cash properly (retirement, slush fund, med aid, car payments etc) and she knows it's not just a "just because" purchase, and you love riding, she'll understand. 

 

But if you're hiding it ços you fell guilty that you won't have as much cash for your groceries this month, or you're sacrificing a contribution to your RA / Med Aid / Life Assurance / School fees, then you're on a one way trip to divorce. 

 

Money matters, guys. There's a reason it's the number one reason for marriage breakdowns. I guarantee that you'll get a far better reception if you just let her know before you spend. Whoever came up with thatsaying of it being easier to ask forgiveness was a douchebag

Thanks Dr Phil....now we all feel like douchebags, lol. 
 

 

Your guarantee of all wives appreciating a discussion about this hobby and its associated costs will only guarantee a few divorces in my opion  :P
 
(Let it be known that in principle I guarantee with everything you said)

does that actually work?

last time I checked it's 2016 and not the middle ages

I for one will get a PK if I try and pacify the situation by buying her a kitchen

I'm with Myles "Dr Phil" Mayhew on this one... worked well for me thusfar

yeah, cos keeping an invoice from your wife's eyes always helps the trust and support in a marriage.

 

Grow up, guys. Don't be afraid to discuss this stuff with her. I guarantee she'll appreciate it and rest assured that you're not keeping other stuff from her. Cos if you're lying about bike stuff...  

I think everyone's just having a laugh mate, it's not serious.
