DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I think that Bruce's summary was good and fair. I am in the cycle business where we custom build, repair, service and repair bikes. We see situations where people have bought bikes privately which the PO claims are working perfectly and just need a tune. We see it when a problem occurs, we do uncove...

Storck Durnario Pro G1 Carbon non-Disc Road Bike Frameset Medium (55cm) I have the above for sale as surplus stock. I know that there are a few officionados' out there. So, I thought I might give you folks a heads-up. Strictly it should be in the For Sale items, but, it will not appeal to everyone a...

I have used the following Foxwell 301 unit which works really well on my cars and is not subject to the same limitations of the iCarsoft unit which I also own.

Jonathan, Graham put me in touch with Westwood Storage out in Worcestershire. They are storing my wife's car for the moment. They have been really good and also they have access to a gentleman with a covered trailer to transport it back to them. It costs me £100 + VAT pcm. This was the best I could ...

Folks, Many thanks for the words of wisdom. Graham, the Westwood Storage looks a good option and is a reasonable price. Thanks for the recommendation. I will be chatting with them when I get a minute. The fact that they can pick the car up transport it and trickle charge it and store it in a decent ...

Hi All, I am about to loose my garages and I need to find a place to put the wife's car which is in long term hibernation until I can agree its disposal. So, with that in mind, I need to find somewhere to safely park and store it until further notice. In London it is hideously expensive, also I do n...

Hi Andy, You are correct, I was having a senior moment. The splines are the "coarse" type which means that the boss is suitable for an A type steering column. Thanks for keeping me honest. Here is a second attempt at posting the photos : [img] https://photos.app.goo.gl/HFTciHKedmdwu5dt6 [/...

I have for sale a Nardi Wood Wheel suitable for a 356. The boss will fit either the A, B or C. The horn wire attaches to the horn button inside. This is a complete replacement assembly for the stock steering wheel. I have owned it for about 20+ years and was saving it for a car which I sold on witho...

Thanks Sam,

I know Lepsons, they have a good rep. However, they are in Gillingham which is a fair way away with some logistics challenges.

The 2 piece split rim as far as I am aware means that the rim separates from the one-piece centre.

I may be proven wrong.

DDK Folks, The 2 piece BBS Split-Rims on my 996 are looking a bit worse for wear with the paint peeling. I am looking into getting them refurbished and ideally balanced afterwards. Does anybody have any recommendations for a wheel refurbisher who has experience in split rim wheels ? I don't have spa...

Mark et als. I have seen a LOT of carbon frames and a LOT of damaged frames. Personally, I would not repair a carbon frame unless returned to the manufacturer who is willing to warrantee it and be liable for any issue thereafter. There is carbon and there is carbon. Compare a Planet-X and Storck fra...

Carbon is a great material if you are racing where every gram counts. You can get frame sets down to approx 700g. Strong, light and often VERY stiff. Some manufacturers use several tricks to reduce the shock of the stiff frame to varying degrees of success. Ultimately they are heading for the dumpst...

Hi All, I have a bit of a problem with my 996 and am looking for some pointers. I have just replaced a broken wiper motor bracket and put back the wipers etc. Ever since I have had the car the wipers have not parked along the base of the windscreen, they have parked on the screen well above the base...
