canley v paddock

[david lewis]

hi all ,

in the spring after replacing the gearbox am thinking of a swing spring conversion .canley price--£270     paddock  £197 , whats the difference in quality if any?

also the manuals say that the rear brake hoses etc need to be removed to change the spring but i cannot see why as long as the hubs are supported on axle stands or have i missed something.

cheers

One difference is that the Canley Classics price includes vat.

You need a bracket on the backplate a tight bend from the cylinder or

the spring eye will chop the pipe or hose, so it has to dive out the way sharply compared to a fix spring set up ....well somethong like that

Canley used to do it as a kit with all the odd parts

It might be worth asking each supplier where the spring was manufactured.
