    Lime green Jockeys! Wtf?

    Made my first ever batch of chilli jam, using some of my Thai Hot and Pot Black chillis. Normally just harvest, dry, then use throughout the next 12 months until the next crop, year on year. Tasting good, looking ok.

    Not my fault, but whilst giving my old chaps car the full beans the exhaust has broken…… checked on the work system, it’s not a cheap fix 🤦‍♂️

    mega, innit. Got 8 pairs. I let the bambini choose my pants in the Jockey outlet at some US outlet place, the more pairs you bought the cheaper they were.

    They are the long versions as well, so near enough down to knees

    The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

    New Bond was brill. Finished playing James Bond with the boy, I let him have the Walther ppk and demoted myself to 009. The things we do for our kids. Currently supping a vodka martini, shaken, not stirred.

    PPK you say?

    My schizzle from something a few years ago

    Is that real??!! 😃
    we don't do toys.

    however, much more importantly, please note use of Frozen and Star Wars plasters. Hello Kitty were obviously in short supply.

    What part of the exhaust is broken?

    Oh and year, engine size?

    Rear box, 3.6 I think unsure of year because of plate

    You might want to get a proper partsman to check the work system for you to make sure you get the right bit then :D

    Box - silencer?

    If it is, Porsche OEM: £550 each plus VAT.
    Or (and it is a much better option), sounds great, adds 12-15 bhp: Dansk.

    The original system is prone to rattling when they get a bit old and they aren't very durable. I replaced mine with the above. Sort of - see post below.

    ...and you can fit the round tail pipes to them. Much nicer than the squarish original one's.
    They don't seem to be available now but I got the two box's only for £440 plus VAT for the pair!

    Did I tell you the job took 2 and a half days; sheered mounting bolts and had to replace the heat shields. Porkers are notorious for seized bolts. One heat shield mounting bolt was threaded, had to re-tap to M7.
    One exhaust manifold bolt was also threaded.

    Cheers both. I’m dropping it off early as I’m off cycling so will miss the full disappointing lecture

    He was opening the gates as I got there so no hiding.

    He spotted it on Friday when they had it on the ramp at work and ordered a full system - phew

    Any ideas why 50 tooth 1x chucks off the chain when its in the 29?

    inboard?

    chainline might be too far out, the wider the angle the more likely the chain will come off, angle increases with shorter chainstays

    tbh not enough info

    did it ever work with a 29? are the crankset+chainring designed for x1? or are you improvising with x2 parts?

    with x2 the fd cage helps prevent the chain coming off, with no cage it's free to drop, worse case you could fit an x1 chain catcher to prevent it dropping
    currently outboard so will move it inboard when I get home - plan after that is to remove a chain link.

    think that you are correct - chainline is a tad too angley, so hopefully moving it inboard will solve.

    chainring is 1x, 2x cranks but shouldn't really make a difference I reckon.

    agree re chain catcher option

    Grazie mille - v v much appreciated 😎😎

    if the cranks are x2 then the spider will be x2 - making the chain run further out than with x1

    but if it's dropping off the outside when on the biggest cog, that doesn't sound like simply chainline - i'd expect the chain would ride up on the teeth and fall to the inside, not the outside

    is the chain length correct for the rd model? look at the specific install instruction for the rd just in case

    sticky/tight chain link? bent chainring? bent tooth? worn chain? chainring warping as bolts are tightened?

    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Chain was dropping inside which pointed to chainline - have taken a couple of links out and moved inboard then span it as hard/erratic as I could on the stand and nothing bounced off, so will take it around the block in a bit.

    There is still a tiny angle going on but hopefully combo of nice tight new chain, new narrow wide sprocket and my good looks will mean no further issues.

    if there are, then chain catcher.

    Grazie again for help - v much appreciated. Will keep you updated.

    Just been for 1/2 mile test ride - stuck it in the 29 and mashed it like the best a hitter fast chain gang clubbie can do - ie souplesse of a farmer wearing two different sized wellies riding through mud with a piglet on his shoulder..

    all perfect, so we may have success.

    grazie again for advixe, hints & tips!
