I spent a bit of time in the garage this morning, just putting bits and pieces together to see how they'd fit.
The yokes and the wheel spindle went on no bother. Once I'd worked out how to remove the cover for the stem nut, that is! I also tried out the spacers for the mudguard and they fit too.
So, it looks as though, as long as I can get the wheel to fit, everything will go together just right. Well everything so far that is.
I've still to try out the spacers for the discs but can't do that until I get the wheel back. Also I won't be able to try the yokes on the bike until I remove the front forks and once I start that, the bike is definitely off the road for the winter!
But, unless I get started on the serious spanner work, I'll be sitting here in the spring wanting the bike back on the road and nothing done.
It really will be a case of taking a deep breath and just jumping in with both feet.
