The Triumph 2000 / 2500 / 2·5 Register Forum

Full marks, thanks Mike, fan belt had loosened up. Quick fix at least. Yes, you don’t see many (if any) big triumphs on the roads where I am. I know there are members around lyon.

Thanks Johnny, I’ve ordered a 1088mm, hoping thats not too much the other way. If not it will just have to be third time lucky (at least they are not the most expensive components!).
