Yoke Ram Mount

This morning I fitted a Ball Ram Mount to my Yoke on the Viffer. I also purchased a universal PDA cradle and a bracket to attach it to my new Ball Mount.

It was a struggle getting the plastic plug out of the Viffer’s Yoke. In the end I had to punch a hole through the middle of the plug to be able to pull it out with a set of long nose pliers. After pulling it out I realised that the middle of the Yoke had rusted slightly which was causing the plug not to come out.

After assembling all the parts and tightening the Ball Mount. I then fitted the cradle to the mount with the PDA in it. I then sat on the bike and adjusted the mount and cradle into the desired position. I was able to position it so that I can easily see the PDA and also have full view of all the dials on the bike. I am very pleased with the overall outcome and very happy with the quality of the equipment.

I used the following Ram Mount items purchased from GPS Warehouse.

• ‘One’ Universal PDA Holder 3 – RAM-HOL-PD3
  
• Ram Stem Mount with arm and base – RAM-B-176

Helen's New Tyres

Helen had a new set of tyres fitted this morning as the previous ones rubber had started to come away from the carcass of the tyre. (See Picture)

 

She chose to have a set of Michelin Road Pilot 2 fitted as I think they are a really good and long lasting tyres. Her previous tyres Metzler Roadtec Z6 lasted a long time but they don’t have any grooves across the middle of the tyre or any wear indicators. Due to this we thought she had plenty left on them until all of a sudden they started to crack up in the middle.

 

Again we used Bike Tyre Services to change them at our house. He did an excellent job as always.
