Ouch X2

First one, when it fell off, and the second ouch on the price, has he shopped around to see what he can do price wise, maybe a 2nd hand one, depending on the section that has fell off, could it be repaired with some sleaving and gas welding?

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

We did think about repair but it went about 1/2 inch frm the joint between front and rear sections..... not an easy to place to repair.
2nd hand option was not really viable, we guessed they would be in about the same state before long
The place we have got it from has been supplying me with cost effective parts for 30 yrs or so and always tries to get me the best price and then lets me have it at trade price, so I dont think we could do much better.

Kwik fit or National tyre prices were around £170 fitted!!!!

SO, we bit the bullet and got a complete new one. We are doing a club trial at Easter and I just hope my lad doesnt break it :)
