on the last run and my brake pads fell of the metal(again, dont buy imperial pads)

please don't blame the brand of pads its not that its due to the kind of dirt at Rheola it wears pads down in a few runs

Agreed, I've gone through several sets of pads in a day here before.

Hey Orge - I snapped one the linkage bolts on the DHR last weekend @ Rheola.  They seem pretty light so I probably just did them up too tight and sheared them.  You had any problems?

Yes I have, I think there was a dodgy batch of bolts or something, as I snapped a brand new one as I was doing it up for the first time. Just sheared in half on me. However other ones I've had since my 05 frame and they're fine!

If you have any trouble with spares I have loads of DHR bits lying about, will chuck a bolt in the post for you if you like?

Hey - I stopped in Mojo today and got 10 quality 18/8 M6 bolts to replace the cheese Turner fitted.  So, if you've sent them cool and I'll return one at some point, if not, no worries.
