Ha ha ha.....parcel turned up today with..... (drum roll!!!)
New one on the right....I now have 10 seals and (20g + 10g) left over.... so if I'd sent back the first one were they then going to send out the same one again?!! Must admit though, still no grease leaked out from behind the crankshaft circlip using the Bosch stuff so to me it is better stuff...I'll get the Bosch for these bearings and "el cheapo" Silver hook for the battery connections.... not that I'll be using it in the forseeable....
8am today....
Dropped a group off for a canoe on Loch Insh.... with digging spades to cut through the ice that double up as heavy paddles lol...

When I picked the group up 3 car loads of dafties pulled up, very grateful for the ice-breaking favour and were off for a swim in their budgie smugglers and costumes....f**k that... in my drysuit maybe!
they must have changed to the green grease for the lock ring and just use the white stuff for inside the motor.
i have used this stuff for years now but not cheap and its green lol.

That's some discount.... Just deflated my front wheel to see if it is "tubeless ready"....it has a "Continental Easy Tape 24mm- 584" under the tube...deceptively tight but it's not a TL tape from what I've googled....
pmsl never seen that, imo it is a rubber band so will need to be removed and tape fitted.
