    New Cups at Oulton.

    Hi Gang,

    Nice day today at Oulton and first dry day for me with the CSL and the new cups.

    Does that wear seem normal for you on the cups first outing ? First time i use cups.

    Around 32 psi on Front and 31 on back.









    Thanks,

    Eduardo.

    That's not wear , it's pick up.

    Typical of a cold day when you get tyres warm and then as it picks up rubber it cools or rubber gets pushed across the tyre and and hardens on the tyre on the far edge. Probably made worse by geo being to road going.

    Next time it will come off or you can spend 2-3 hours with a scraper getting it off.

    Types underneath look hardly used from detail I can see.

            On a different note, my left down shift paddle kept missing the changes. All fine with the gear stick shift. Checked the plastic cover inside wheel and all fine. As the microchip sensor gone wrong? As anyone had the same problem before?
            Thanks.

                  Thank you

                  I have got a £250 excess on my named component warranty. Is it a £50 part or are we talking millions?

                  Thanks.

                    I can't answer that as they did a few warranty jobs at the same time.Give Emma a ring at Elms and she will price it up for you.I can't see it costing much as its only a switch.Im guessing it would take half an hour to fit.

                              Yeh, about right. Most dealers have silly amounts of paperwork for menial jobs. The book time will probably be 0.8 I imagine.

                              One of our CSL's has the same issue on the up paddle. I have a few spares knocking about, so I'm gonna pop one in. Ill time it tomorrow. :-D
