Having had trouble with my rear suspension I discovered this guy. Feels so real compared to others... things actually stick, jam and are troublesome!! Anyone know him or are you the real mini dude maybe?

Yes, I saw that but didn't ask as I didn't know what they were.

I like the bit where it's speeded up and he's talking speeded-up gibberish. Like most other married blokes, having heard a lot of gibberish in my life, I could just make it out!

Hi

Lugs are prob' for a speed sensor, as there is a wire cable tied to the brake pipe? prob' from a sensor just out of shot at the top of the brake drum/back plate.

I wondered the same thing, so I posted the question back to his YouTube thread:
