To make the trailer safe again I had to replace: axle,hubs,springs,brakepads,brake cable and lights. During the Queensland floods my wife's office was closed (riverside) so she went out voluntering and ended up cleaning up at a boattrailer manufacturer. She worked there for 3 hours and went home with a good feeling and a businesscard. Few months later I needed the parts and went to this place. The guy gave me everything for 40% of retailprice! KARMA is a funny thing.
From 1857 to the early 1980s the Hurlford Fireclay Works near Kilmarnock produced all kinds of earthenware including bricks, toilets, urinals, baths, chimneypots, coping stones, troughs and even garden ornaments. Among his various business interests, John Howie also operated the Hurlford Oilworks as part of the entrepreneural Howie family. He amassed very significant wealth in his lifetime, and although J & R Howie was eventually acquired by Armitage Shanks (itself later acquired by Blue Circle Cement, then American Standard, itself acquired by Bain Capital...) it still exists in a non-trading form. Most of the site is now semi-cleared scrub with a BMX track. Brakepad manufacturer, Eurofriction, occupies the southwestern portion of the old fireclay works.
I found these bricks lying in the flotsam next to the old ferry slipway at Newport-on-Tay.

Karate Monkey v.3.0!
New wheelset (Deore XT hubs laced to Velocity Blunts), thanks to Guitar Ted for hooking me up! New Schwalbe Racing Ralphs (2.4"), setup tubeless with Bontrager's Tubeless rim-strips and valves. While I was at it, I treated myself to some new Avid rotors and BB7 brakepads. Drive-train consists of a new Salsa 32t chain-ring, a Surly splined single-speed cog and a Surly tugnut "chain tensioner" (not shown). To top it off, I went with the All-City BMX star grips in black and pink (next picture has a better view of them), which are an incredible match for the bike's new color theme.
This is the left pad of my rearbrake after the winter-season. The pad has been in use perhaps 6 months.
Let my mistake be a lesson to you, kids: change your pads before they wear down to the metal.
Was able to buy a new set of Premium brake pads for 1/3rd the price.
Replaced the Ridex pads with EBC Redstuff Ceramic DP3836C.
Early 80s Top End Gipiemme brakeset, these in "century" finish. Slightly heavier and actually slightly more durable than Campy SR models. I have only seen them stock on top end European makes such as Raeza, Faggin, Colnago, Bianchi, Moser and Gazelle. Never directly imported for bikes in the States. These were Not made by Modolo, Simplex or 3TTT subcontactors that GPM often used. Other than wannabe urban legends, GPM was NOT a subcontractor to Campy. During the mid-80s, Campy was in fact a subcontractor to GPM for downtube shifters. While I am unsure what it suggests, these above brakes came stock out of the box with 2 Campy brakepads.

With only a little over 1,000 miles on my new Rubicon I somehow managed to get a LARGE stick jammed into my 32" BFG All-Terrain tire! Look at the size of this stick!
Overhauled the BB and headset. New Koolstop brakepads. New chain. Ditched the gel saddle and put on my black Brooks B17. Sold the cockpit and put on my Nitto Tech DLX, 46 cm Noodle and Tektro R200 cockpit. Converted to presta valves and put on some new 26x1.75 Soma New Express tires. I just need to string some cables and she'll be rideable. Saddle height is close to correct as pictured (75.5cm). Fenders and racks will come a little later after a shakedown
