The nipple snapped off on my rear caliper on my CRM when I was trying to bleed the brakes after I replaced the Master Cylinder when the seal blew and I lost all my fluid. It was cheaper to get a second hand one than a rebuild kit.
I then went to drill the snapped nipple out, and snapped the drill bit off in the the caliper.
I then ended up just turning the caliper upside down and putting some wood between the pads and bleeding out the banjo bolt. ____________________ Current:1991 Honda MT50 (Soon to be a H100/MTX/MT5 hybrid), 1976 Honda Cub C70, 2005 Honda Varadero 125, 1993 Yamaha TTR250 Open Enduro , 2010 Road Legal Stomp YX140, 1994 Honda CRM 250 MK III, 1999 Cagiva Mito 125, 1992 Honda CB400 Super Four, Stomp T4 230, 1984 Honda H100s, 2009 Sym XS125K

I did think about removing the gaitors from the forks but decided that if I want to change the wheels back to the knobbly tyred ones then I would have to refit the other dirt bike stuff as well.
I bought the wheels from a friend of a friend for £200 and only came with the rear sprocket.The hubs are Talon and the rims are anodised Morad,which is a far better finish than stove enamelling or plastic coating.
The front disc was £95 from Race-Spec and I had a spare rear disc in the shed that was originally meant for the dirt bike.The tyres that came on the wheels were worn out Dunrops but they protected the rims until I was ready to replace those with new Pirelli Diablos.
I have fitted the largest front sprocket that would fit and while Renthal did not sell one then Talon Engineering had the size that I needed on their shelf.Top people ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

It would look better with the gaitors left on i think... It sounds like youve run out of things to do to your bike, sometimes when that happens i think i look for parts to change on my bike just for the hell of it
The reason i asked about the wheels is because yours look the same as mine (or similar at least) just in a different colour. I dont know what make my wheels are because they were on the bike when i bought it, but the red anodising is starting to fade and wear off the spokes so i would like to buy new wheels at some point

A friend did their XR250R as a Supermoto conversion by buying some spare wheels,dismantling them and sending off the OEM hubs to be painted and reassembled with new stainless spokes and painted ally rims.This would be a cheaper option.
But if your hubs are anodised they can be redone in a different colour.I have had some red bike parts redone in black,which does not fade like red plating seems to,which turns to pink after a while.If your rims are painted they can be shot blasted and repainted. |
The hubs are black and havent faded, so i could have them rebuilt onto new rims if it worked out cheaper than buying new wheels. However, from what i can tell it probaby wouldnt be once the cost of labour and new spokes are factored in
the rims are anodised too and im not sure how i like the idea of having the rims powder coated, if powdercoating on top of an anodised surface is even possible...? i'll have to keep an eye on ebay and gumtree i think, to see if i can find a cheap set
ive just noticed you have what look like rubber frame protectors on your bike, do you think i could get some to fit my CRM? the alloy ones are what i would ideally like, but they are like hens teeth for this bike

They are not rubber frame protecters but plastic.Polisport I think.But I bought them years ago,with the intention of making some ally plate frame protecters at some time in the future.It would not be difficult if you start of with a cardboard template and then cut the plate with a bandsaw.
If you go to 'goggle images' and type in 'CRM 250 SM',there are some good examples ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?
