Can you confirm this rumour?

I would be interested anyway as the shear weight of the RL will surely cause them to strip quite quickly.

This self-servo action will make it a wonderful brake when facing forward downhill, but totally untrustworthy vice-versa.

I see on the main website that you plan to produce kits for a 2" wagon

Is this still on the cards and will it follow once the 2" Burrell is complete or have I got to go and build one to my own design?

Obviously, if the 2" wagon was not commenced till after the burrell then we would not be able to ride it around for this season as the 2" is not due to finish till about August or September.

This could relate to painting or mechanical or even what sundries you have used (oils/tools etc) This may stop myself and others from stumbling into the same problems and issues.

I have found that my waterpump feedpipe (the one in the tender with a filter on the end) has become loose. It will turn easily in the union nut and I can rattle it a bit. This might explain why my pump suddenly stops working on a roadrun especially when the water level in the tender has dropped from full. It sems to start sucking air. I have tried to tighten up the union nut with a standard spanner by poking my hand through the hole in the tender top but can't tighten ...
