That haner looks a nice grab! Doesn’t look like it’s done a lot of hard work either. Nice bit of kit
had it brand new off @Tintan28 ... he bought two --- by mistake :giggle:

I did modify it slightly as it wasn't closing on the edges, if trying to grab something over 12" or so wide -- easy mod and made a massive difference to it's ability to grip
before

They’d benefit from sitting in the sun to soften a bit!
Make sure the chunky sidewall rim-protector is facing out…

If I have to take any of those ****ers back off I will be mega-pissed :oops::oops::sick: ... did look to see if I could see any particular fitment instructions .. didn't see any :unsure::unsure::unsure:
if I do have to turn any I think they'll be going to my local tyre guy and his machine :(
The original Avon Super Steels fitted to SD1s had an anti-kerb rib on those - it was a lump and very noticeable :rolleyes:

Honestly wasn’t yanking your crank - all of mine have a raised rib on the outer (where Savero is written) but not on the inner face.
I'll go take a look in a minute :rolleyes: ... if I can get Harper to have a nap

doddle in comparison to these little mothers ... my Wolf filling one of my air bottles ;)

this came over my head not long ago ... 'bout 50 ft above the trees, right over the top of me on the patch, banking hard, did a 180 and went back where he came from ..... heard it coming but still couldn't get me phone out and ready in time .. there one second and gone the next, making a hell of a row
