I bet oil has been discussed a great deal on here, but as a newbie - Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 is a semi synthetic, would a fully synthetic be better like the Castrol Magnetec 5w-30??  Just asking...

My son got on the power a little too soon and the back end stepped out.  He corrected that but then hit the kerb NSR.  That wheel now has a run-out of around 3mm and gives what looks like a buckled wheel.  However the wheel is not buckled (tried another wheel on it).  Taking the wheel off does not s...

Hi Bruce.  I'd like one for the Atom 2 please.  Let me know how to pay you and send you my address.
