British Bikes / Fitting Britax rear crash bars
« on: July 05, 2021, 11:14:40 AM »
I want to fit a set of Britax rear crash bars to my A10. Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of the bevel on the footrest? It doesn't match the crash bar fixing point in anyway that I can see. I have scoured the internet unsuccessfully looking for Britax fitting instructions. any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.second picture is where footrest is supposed to attach to the crash bar

British Bikes / Britax rear crash bars

After a lot of searching (years) I have found me a pair of Britax rear crash bars. Has anyone got or know of a source for fitting instructions?  Looking at them it doesn't appear to be to difficult, but one immediate snag I can see is that the top anchorage bracket is to thick to fit between the mudguard cotton reel spacer and the frame. If the spacer is left out then the anchorage bracket is not wide enough. Has anyone fitted Britax rear crash bars, and if you did how did you do it?

Just removed the magneto from my A10 to have it refurbished. I noticed one of the fibre gear teeth was chipped so I'm seeking advice. Go with a new fibre gear or opt for an ally one. I'm leaning towards ally because fibre gear failure appears to be a relatively common occurance. Personal experiences anyone?

British Bikes / A10 4 spring clutch
« on: May 15, 2020, 07:51:28 PM »
Got it set up so the operation is nice and light. So here's  the thing, operates well until it warms up. After a while gear change gets a bit notchey and neutral is impossible to engage. These symptoms are not evident initially only after riding a few miles does this happen. I've set up the pressure plate (SRM ally plate with needle roller push rod thrust bearing) with a dial gauge and it is lifting squarely. springs are adjusted so one full coil turn is showing when clutch is engaged. The adjuster nuts are roughly flush with the spring studs (no thread visible on stud or adjuster nut) primary lube is ATF. Any ideas about what might be causing this problem gents?

British Bikes / A10 gear box problems
« on: June 25, 2018, 11:02:26 AM »
BSA A10 gear box. Got a problem that I can’t seem to get to the bottom of. Initially when I first go for a ride and everything is cold, the gear change is noiseless and smooth. Selecting neutral from either 1st or 2nd gear while stationary is easy and reliable. After everything has warmed up selecting neutral becomes very difficult, and the best way I can describe it is that gear shift  almost feels as if it is seized solid and will not select neutral at all. This happens after about 15 miles or so. I have replaced the selector forks, and “claw” in the gearbox, and spent a long time setting up the clutch with a dial gauge and according to the guage the pressure plate is lifting absolutely square (four spring clutch with SRM ally pressure plate and radial bearing fitted to the clutch push rod). I have replaced the clutch springs, cups, and spring adjusters too although these symptoms were there before which is why I replaced these items. Gearbox oil is 50 weight  and primary chain case has ATF in it. While riding along the gears change just fine, and it is not until I stop and try to select neutral that I notice any problem. I am lost as to what to investigate next. Anyone got any ideas or suggestions as to what might be the cause of this problem?

British Bikes / BSA 8" single sided front brake
« on: April 28, 2016, 02:02:55 PM »
I first noticed this the other day, when I apply the brake, the brake plate flexes at the point where the operating arm spindle passess through the plate. I also noticed that as the brake cable pulls the arm up the spindle moves outwards by about a millimetre or so as it rotates. Is this normal? If it is not can anyone suggest a remedy? other than this the brak operates perfectly well.
