Well a rather annoying twist in the tale. Installed the crank the other day after completing all pre assembly prep. Everything seemed ok bar a slight bit of clearancing needed on the girdle plate. Took everything off and found a whopper of a scratch on one of my main bearings. Annoyed doesn’t come close!
I know the block and crank were crystal clean so I can only assume that my old pot of assembly lube had become contaminated with a bit of grit or who knows what. What are the odds?!?
So, yet again, a thorough clean of block and crank before sealing away on clean bags while I await new bearings to arrive….. and a NEW bottle of assembly lube by @torcousa via @nimbusmotorsport

I'm looking at getting some alloys for my zed. At the mo it has Uk spec standard alloys, staggered on the back.
In people opinions is it best to keep the staggered set up?
Iv seen a nice set of 18s but they are 8 inchs front and back.
Does anyone run this type of set up? Any adverse handling effects? ta
