The first photo in this post of the indicator assembly is of a BRAND NEW one which I found on the internet. I presume these new ones have been specifically manufactured to overcome the problems of the old ones. I doubt that they'd be very expensive so tracking one down would probably be your best option as the manufacturers may have improved the whole internal design.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-89667661977525900222010-11-23T22:29:05.257+13:002010-11-23T22:29:05.257+13:00Can the Oil Release Valve Indicator rubber sleeve ...Can the Oil Release Valve Indicator rubber sleeve be replace with a plastic tube or something else or even be left out completely?

Comments, either critical or positive are fine but they genuinely don't affect whether I write or not as there have always been plenty. Whether it's the fact that my leg is still stopping me from riding or that I feel like I haven't got anything fresh to say will no doubt reveal itself in due course.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-39056653323000915292010-11-07T14:04:55.983+13:002010-11-07T14:04:55.983+13:00Geoff,

I use to live or die by the number of comments on a post. I got discouraged by that. He gave me the same quote that he stated above. I know you didn't make the point about comments but sometimes I think it has an affect on how we judge the value of our posts. Personally I've come to realize that readership has more value than comments. <br /><br />I'm reading your posts and enjoy your take on things as well as your knowledge and experience on riding. Please don't stop now!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946652999166458805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-42869559276744091112010-11-06T15:39:41.675+13:002010-11-06T15:39:41.675+13:00Sonja,

I think that Canajun summed it up rather neatly in a past post in that he blogs primarily for himself. That's the case for most of us I suspect. The reason for me having a go at blogging in the first place has long since passed so I'm perfectly relaxed about stopping and just going riding (as soon as my leg permits!), no big deal at all.<br /><br />No concrete plans yet for visiting Canada. Vietnam is still unfinished business.
