Re: GPS track timer?

Or does anyone have any experience with a phone app?

I'll try Track Addict at Snetterton on Tuesday.

GPS track timer?

There are a few on ebay but they are 250GBP+.

I'm going to use a phone app but thought I'd ask if anyone has one they no longer need.

Thank you

I'm afraid not, they were restored for me by a member on here in exchange for some Mori bits... I just couldn't let them go!
No problem at all. Thank you for replying. Good luck

I love a festival, especially when pink sheep are there. They are the dirty ones.

Re: How to take out front brake pads?

I am genuinely amazed by this stuff. My father works on model steam engines, I wonder if he and his colleagues know of this stuff. Thank you.

Re: VTR track bike conversion

I had a good day at the Brands GP circuit yesterday. After starting damp the weather improved and ended with sunshine. I shared a garage with some rich former racers. They were cool but man did they have some money. This bike in particular was amazing. It was a BMW S1000rr HP4 Alpha racing spec. Cus...

I don't know if a thumb brake weighs less than a foot version, but you'd have the extra length of cable or hydraulic pipe to compensate.

How about a nice lithium caliper and carbon disc?
OK, OK, I get it. Too far? I'll get my coat.

Re: VTR track bike conversion

For those of you who ride track days in the UK, have you ever been formally scrutinised? I'm thinking of removing my back brake as I never use it and am unlikely too, so I could save a kilo or two. However a racer friend of mine says that if my bike is ever scrutinised it would fail and my day would...

Re: VTR track bike conversion

I had a good day, well morning, at Bedford Autodrome. Sound check was passed with ease with the Remus end cans (those from the 50th anniversary VTR). They were 93Db! Yes, take that mister sound man! And made the bike smoother and less vibey. Perfect. Bedford is a very enjoyable track with a couple ...
