Title: Rebuild Kit RK006?
Post by: Redliner on June 01, 2006, 06:11:53 am: Hello:
Does anyone know were I can get a spare bearings for my girvin vector 2 of a 856?
I managed to find one at the older proflex dealer in Portugal, but the dimensions are different(smaller), from the original ones.
So I have 8 bearings available if usefull for anyone.
Best regards...

Zé Diogo

Tenta mesmo a IronHorse. Parece que eles têm os kits apropriados para a Vector. E aproveita enquanto existem pois segundo um mail que lhes enviei, quando acabarem não há mais. Onde é que arranjaste os que tens? Na Bicigal em Lisboa?

Abraço, Ricardo.

PS: Ok Guys, after seeing some texts in German, try to translate this one from Portuguese to see if it comes as funny as the German ones. Cheers!

E uses to advantage while they exist therefore as a mail that I sent to them, when to finish does not have more. Where it is that you arranged the ones that you have? In the Bicigal in Lisbon? I hug, Ricardo.

The translation is not bad,but i leave the judgment to the ones who speak the mother language of all.
Ricardo, I bought the bearings at Bicigal, but they send me the wrong ones.Probably they have more spare parts for girvin components that can be usefull for this forum comunity, but the onwer seems to be very difficult person to talk.
If anyone wants a spare bearings I could post the dimensions, because they are a bit smaller than the originals of the vector2 and maybe in this forum is someone interested or someone might know where to apply them.
I send an email to IronHorse today, so will wait ansious for a repply.After that I will post the latest update of the IronHorse stocks.
Thanks.
Cumprimentos alentejanos para todos...(try to translate this)

Title: IronHorse Stock
Post by: Redliner on June 03, 2006, 03:25:05 pm: Sorry, not close enough, only a portuguese would understand it.
I received an email from IronHorse and the only available rebuild kits were the RK002, the RK006 and shock elastomers. For the elastomers lovers there are some available. Maybe I will try the elastomers, especially on the rear shock. I heard some good oppinions of them, when mounted with the ods shocks.
Can anyone update me?
Thanks...
good curves...

Aparently CVI http://www.risseracing.co.uk/welcome.html has also the same rebuild kits as Iron Horse as also the elastomers. If I undestand well they also have Noleen NR front and rear shocks. The prices are different than the Iron Horse. CVI has a online store but for Iron Horse have to email a request.
Hope to help someone.

I think you will find they have gone out of business
which is a pain in the UK as they were also the Risse
agents.

Post by: kiwi on June 14, 2006, 10:49:48 pm: the elastomers provide a light springy ride but the action is pretty harsh.If you have ods units a spring upgrade is the way to go.
