Subject: RE: Tyre repairs


Ive seen a device, a sort of screwed one-legged jack which is supposed
to lift the right side of the rear swingarm a couple of centimeters.  
I will buy it when i find it in the store. If it can be stored with the
halves inside each others. If not i will build one in alu...
