Yeah i never got round to getting over there.. Last i heard was they were struggling with red tape when trying to organise race dates? Shame.. Looks like an interesting course.
The jealousy argument is bit of a kop out I think. The fact is most RR’s are a bit garish and a hefty portion of the most category are completely gaudy. All just my opinion though.
Julian has it right, the HD doesnt deserve a set of noodles on the front. Its a really sturdy frame. Get an SL and a triple if its just mincing about you’re doing.
£45 is a really fair price imo. When you take into account what the organiser has to do to log a time for each rider on three separate courses all in one day in the way that the naked racing guys do it you really can’t argue with it.
No better illustration of that than Danny Hart’s run at Hafjell on Sunday. He ran a mud spike on the rear, and a dry tyre on the front, because he rides more on the back of the bike.
People get very different things from tyres, depending on how they ride and how they set their bikes up.
Nevegals are actually a really decent tire. One of the DMR riders runs them pretty much exclusively with sometimes stunning results. He lent me a set for a race run not too long ago and i began to believe 🙂
