Scratch building a monkey bike with help from a certifying engineer. I can use brakes etc from a wreck but then they have to be inspected so I might as well get new components. What is the deal with approved standards for brake discs, calipers? Thinking at least some Chinese stuff is up to the job what with 10 billion Chinese getting to work on their Lifans.
What about wheel rims? There are some nice aftermarket tubeless alloy rims, albeit pricey, same question, do they have to be of approved standard? Poms don't seem to have a problem with them but then our govt could probably give the home country advanced lessons in bureucracy.
