Booked for Donington Monday 7th of May and I've a minor problem.
Nail in my front tyre discovered last Saturday morning as I was leaving for a week in Cornwall. Ordered a pair of tyres via eBay. Turned up no problem ready for my return today.
Then the plan went pear shaped . Fork pinch bolt seized. Got it out eventually by hammering in a Torx bit. Wheels out. New tyres fitted but one pinch bolt short. It's probably not an issue but I would like to think all is tight and secure as I circulate Donington on Monday
Is anybody close by who has a spare bolt that I could borrow and fit? As soon as a dealer is open on Tuesday I'll order up a couple and replace if I manage to borrow one.
Its only going to be a standard metric bolt..if no joy I will check my spare' s bag for a match
I removed my pinch bolt.....and I have an exact match you are welcome to it
I've got a bag of mixed bike nuts and bolts, I'll bring them along
Ive checked the part numnbers and there the same, if you get really stuck im 30mins from donington and depending when your travelling up you can drop into mine and pick up the bolt and the seat (if you still want to try it?).

I will need it back in the post on tuesday though as im at Rockingham next saturday. (or just give me the £2 and il pop into Redline and grab a new 1!)
