more VM26 questions!

[Agemax]

They're VMs Lynn - doesn't have a base carb.

BTW - measure the carbs while they're off. I bet they're VM28s (will measure 28.9mm or thereabouts on the head side, internal).

measured them today and they all measure 26.5mm so they must indeed be VM26's

Yep, 26s. You're in a minority over here then. 28s are noticeably better suited, though the power figures were always listed the same regardless of size. Very unusual for Zook not to claim some massive power hike in the adverts.

Plenty come up on Ebay - you could get a set, swap over your good bits (the bits that deteriorate all swap) and then sell the 26's on Ebay for the same money (I've sold a few sets of both sizes but no one ever asked the size). If yours are all polished and clean you'll even make a bit.

Did you see those VM29s that sold on Sunday? The seller thought they were originals. I was going to chuck £150 at them thinking I'd get them for a lot less; someone else must have spotted them as well though for £155.
