I may very well be misremembering but am asking just in case... So question : with the first batch of BGM cranks produced were there issues with the circular balancing weights coming loose/out & if so is there anything that can be done before fitment to minimize the chances of this occurring? With thanks in advance Andy

Anyone got a genuine Innocenti GP125/GP150 crank (has the inspection holes on the webs & takes a LI/SX bearing) they want to part with, preferably one that came out of a running scooter. Thanks

Use the Mont Blanc Tunnel at Chamonix, great roads the other side heading down to Aosta..

I think I'm right in saying the club just stopped posting them due to postal damage. I think they are been on sale at the club shop at events for each year.

Hi, probably a silly question. I thought the club pin badge had stopped years ago ( I have 2013 to 19 ) but notice there is a 2026 for sale, has there been one every year?.

Thats probably a winter job after the next couple of rallies. confident that the replacement parts I've fitted are of decent quality - MB etc - the only questionable part would be the Scootopia Hub. I've read / seen comments about variable quality - but the only alternative would be a UNI hub - have seen similar quality issues with those too. Think its worth clarifying the "play" - on mine - its only the slightest "rock" when the rim / tyre is fitted. Cant feel anything when just the hub is fitted If the process of course through to fine grinding paste has been done to optimise the contact surface of hub to cone, followed by intensive cleaning prior to assembly, with a smear of grease upon fitting & torquing up, that should achieve as good a fit as could ever be achieved. The factories would never have gone to such lengths when new machines were available. If any discernible play has been eliminated, that is excellent. The play between the hub & the fitted wheel is another matter & the interfaces need checking. The rims mounting surfaces need to be flat with no burrs or excessive paint build-up on either side. I believe that the OEM M8 domed nuts (14 or 13 mm AF) were likely a higher grade in terms of strength than the commonly available replacements & even the OEM washers were harder than the norm. Despite the wh
