New anchors sorted courtesy of steve at K2, and Yoda's diplomatic skills

Got a 6k mile rear shock, again, courtesy of Yoda (christ I owe him a few pints now!!!). Only prob is, the little pin thingummy what which makes the spinny think at the bottom of the shock click (it's 05:21 and consumed several beers) need replacing. The one on my current shock works, so can they be butchered to make one working shock? If so, how easily?

Tyres, any recommendations?

Chain and sprockets, agai, recommendations would be helpful.

And finally, anyone who can teach me to ride the thing properly!!!!

Pirelli Diablo Corsa's are bestest or Dunlop Qualifiers
Always used Renthal sprockets and Iris chains on the R1, never any problems
Dave_59 is your man for low level flying techniques, me I can teach you how to crash safely into fields

I thought you were a Michelin pilot power 2CT man Kiwi?

Changed your opinion of them or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Well I'm gonna try Diablo Corsa III's this time round. So if I fit them soonish I'll let you know Stu, what their like. As for C&S maybe give Steve another ring? I'm sure he'll sort something out for you. Now riding technique. Hmm maybe less rolling burn outs and a few more ride outs. Lots of miles and plenty of bends make for good riding skills. Look at Dave and Andy. Andy is one bloody quick rider, having to follow the racing ferret all the time.

Bout time you changed your name too. Plodder's no use anymore. Or are you gonna keep it to lull them into a false sense of security.
