One half of the clamp is 7mm deep, the other 9mm. The clamps are the same both ways up apart from the depth. Some frames / forks have very low profile mounts so the 9mm wide wouldn't fit, but the 7mm will, so you can get the brake as low to the frame / fork as possible.

Yes. Took me a while to head my head around it - but because suspension rates are calculated as a frequency, you ignore wheel offset, spacers, etc.

Yep, fine, your cranks will keep the bearing in!

Maybe it's just f**ked, haha... will just about return 30 on a motorway run. Doesn't often get up to full temp which doesn't help.

Better than my MX-5

Actual or from the trip computer? I used to see about 40 on the motorway at 70 in my 2.0 TFSi, nudging just over 45 if you took it steady at ~60.

The full circuit is just a bit wank, basically. All it adds is two straights and two hairpins (boring to drive), thins out the concentration of cars, costs more to license (the organisers have to pay a permit fee to the MSA), you can't see it from any of the spectator points, you'd need more marshals, and we also use it to grid up while the previous race is going on to save time. Good for a track day to ease queuing issues though. Same thing at Anglesey - there's the coastal and international layouts. The international just adds two straights and a hairpin, boring The tyres will cut through a light shower if there's some residual heat, you can go very nearly as quickly when it's raining lightly like that - however, according to Mr Datalogger, I went in at the same pace as totally dry (my mistake)

Haha, yeah I did the same thing a few times last year and decided to try and turn in - ending up with plenty of gravel inside the car. Luckily I didn't this year else I'd have been collected by Jeremy (the car in the gravel after I'd done my U turn).

Best way is to make them to fit dude.

Cheers dude! Yeah it's frustrating killing that yellow car in the high speed bends and then getting driven past on all the straights / uphills... Either I am under power or she is over the power cap, we'll have a rolling road at one of the rounds so we'll see at some point...

Videos from the weekend... both pretty long, but constant action throughout so hopefully not too boring! Race 1: Race 2:

Unfortunately this is what's killed your brakes. Sounds stupid, but brake cleaner makes a mess of trials brakes, they don't get hot and cruddy enough to get rid of the contamination it leaves. The other indication of this is that they are loud and don't work when they are dry, but quiet and do work when wet. The only 100% solution now is new pads and rotor, but there are various bodges you can try which will get them ~80% back to life (run a quick search or I'm sure people will be along with info soon!).

Indeed. Initial attention was grabbed by how easy it looked and how stylishly it was done... then I realised it was neck height on that observer. Riiiight....

Up to front at 6:09... say whaaaaaat.

Haha! That better not have been the only time they showed me?!

Nah, he's become a hairdresser too...

Racing this weekend :-D If anyone fancies a watch, we're live on Motors TV at about 5pm on Sunday. Bessell's racing as well, trials rider battle...

Really sweet Too much style for a trials rider

Sweet, I'll check out. Some serious speeds there! Haha, nah, might be 5% or so but not loads

I see what you mean, hmm... Was it the full layout? I'll have a look at some vids... the MX-5 will get up to 100, just takes a while

Of course I am reading Car's looking good Nick, and Jonny tells me it was going well too! I don't think the Westy would make the noise limits at Bedford unfortunately I agree that any track is fun, it's just what you make of it!

No, and why would you want to?!

This is the world's way of telling you to bleed your brakes like a normal person
