Hey Barry, I'm not sure about the tyres, the guy had just put a new set on but I'm not sure what they are. I'm gonna head out to my shed/mancave next week and get started on the bike. if I can pop the plastics back into place I'll be content with reinforcing the break with epoxy, if not then I'll replace it.

I was gonna go with a w15 fork oil but it sounds like that could be too thick. I think it'll be something I'll need to play about with....

cheers!
