My wife had stroke recently so we are rather indisposed. I don't leave the house for long so getting to Wheels in Motion could be difficult as the nearest branch seems to be Milton K. How long approx does the set up take?

A while ago now, but I would say the tech was on it for an hour. Might have been a bit less, but it wasnt an in and out job.

Could be longer if you have an original subframe and rusty bolts.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

REf Wheels in Motion, which one is the geo expert? There seems to be a number about some of which are spare parts. I can't establish contact with the Milton Keynes Wheels in Motion which I think might be the one,no reply and does not reply to messages left.

Talked to Mick at Blackboots Chesham.I will go down there when I can. While I was at it I asked him about the Potenza RE040 problem and he recommended Ecopia ET150s for the front.

I eventually got down to Chesham. Tram lining gone but I changed two things at the same time.Front tyres and tracking, Both the front and rear tracking were 'out' . All other suspension geometry OK. I had Ecopia ET150s fitted to the front and I think this is the main reason for the more relaxing drive.
