    Yes sorry mate I had been watching them all week and after they were posted on here I expected them to go for silly money but it worked out okay in the end.

    Si - Cheers for all your advice and I was going to get the Ilmberger one's on your recommendation but these were too good a deal to walk away from. Thanks for your help though mate. Oh one quick question what did you use to fix them on the bike.

    Hi steve. I've used all sorts lol. The frame gets very hot, so you need something strong, otherwise they peel off. In the end, I used some extra strong double sided domed tape, as I didn't want to use anything that would mark the frame. 3m vhb stuff. Works well.

    Cheers Si thats a good suggestion I was thinking of using high temperature rated Silicone sealant but the tape is another good option.

    No more nails ? I was working with my grandfather for a bit after i finished secondary school and we where doing renovation work on a really old church .

    I won't go into details but we managed to brake the lid to the tomb of some old knight that the church was a memorial to . It was a solid slap of stone so we just glued it together with No More Nails

    Like sh*t to a blanket mate !.....LoL

    Cheers for the tip Dan buy sounds a little too permanent for my liking. The good thing about silicone is it can easily be removed if needed.
