I need to use my bike tomorrow. I've been removing wheel & forks to fit neoprene fork seal protectors. I have fitted everything back together & on rotating the wheel I've found that the disc brake studs catch on the speedo sensor. Did it do it before? I can't remember which way up the sensor was when I removed it. Please could one of you 690 owners have a look at your bike to see if the wire leaves the sensor via the top or the bottom? Thanks very much.

With rim lock in place I needed about 100 grams of weight for a smooth road ride. I ripped off most of the sticky weights at Devon TRF fun day & the bike was terrible on the road. I stuck some more weights on hoping to find some spoke weights on the internet. I couldn't find any in the UK. Rather than get them from The States & raided my fishing tackle box & have so far produced 2 weights from two 2oz fishing weights. Much cheaper. Just thought I'd share it with you all in case anyone's in the same situation as me.

OK, will wait until you've had a look. In the mean time I've saved the website, thanks.

yep - exits down - through gap between caliper and fork leg - then heads up and joins route of brake hose

Thanks so much, JP. I'll do that before bed. I won't forget again.
