Fancy some new brakes.

Can't for the life of me picture if front brake leaver goes on the left or right. I think it's right, but when ever i try and picture it in my minds eye I just get a picture of my wife asking why i'm buying new brakes and if i've fixed the shed door.

It's obviously been too long since i've been on a bike.

Help.

It's true, the shed door is shagged.

That's it!

None of this silly euro craziness.

Cheers jambalaya, new brakes on the way. Well, on the way to me, not you. I'm not sure what's coming your way. Maybe some cheese. Yes, some cheese no doubt.

I don't mind the other stuff, but I'd prefer it if you put someone else down for the toilet role. Blu-tone perhaps.

Up to you actually 😉
I've always run my rear on the right - but I'm righthanded and after one handful of front too many as a kid swapped.
Firstly so as not to repeat it and add yet another scar to the growing number.
Secondly as its better for awesumz skids!!
