Many thanks to djm778 on the excellent service today. One very happy newbie now in possession of both the ability to PM (but not the understanding to know exactly what to do with this) but also a pair of wheels which look and run beautifully.
Still got my stabilisers on as far as being able to do anything on the forum it seems. Will join the queue on the wheels. Emailable on sanjaya dot Ranasinghe at gmail if all else fails.
Dibs - CONDOR LONG REACH BRAKE CALIPER - please, pming.
