Tyres and alignment? (A)

^^ Yup. (Well, Z610HX if we are being pedantic, but 95% of people will know what you meant Ross!)

Aluminium crank / hub will expand more quickly than steel sprocket, so heat is not ideal. Sorry, short post as was on phone - I meant for one that's actually tight. You would just snap the chain even if you had a 20ft long chain whip.

Hollowtech? It seems there are two 'standards' for this... they have changed the OD of the cup at some point, new tools are too small for some cups and do exactly as you mentioned

Yeah, it's a turbo, it will do that. Nice torque curve! Do you have a before plot to compare? Bet it was a right mess originally!

Chain whip doesn't work. Tried the technique in the video on TartyBikes site? Always works for us.

Hmm, nope, I don't think anyone said that...

3 spoons, 8 forks.

Was it not GT85? Nickname, I mean!

Which is the only benefit of Wales?

Haha, cheers. Everything just seemed to go right, never been that fast round there before! Always good to beat the dudes who turn up with their own boots, overalls etc as well That looks pretty sweet, nice and technical!

Karting = wicked fun:

Yes, if you have a cable disc, or you are careful. Give us a call if you want some instructions.

You get the bug don't you Confidence will grow from here and you'll be getting stuck into all manner of things soon - good work!

Can I use your post as a reply to emails? Haha.

Looking forward to it already

I love watching rally vids cos the cars look so easy to drive. Bags of warning before any slides, loads of compliance. Even with the sound off you can tell when the car is about to oversteer. Massive balls to drive that fast with such little (no!) run-off though...

Haha, yeah, happy to come and jump in with you Nick, as long as it's not too far! Have done a day for MSV (more booked for the future) and a couple of private bookings so far but I have mates rates too (lunch and a driver wristband, sort of thing) I'll bring some cushions You know where to find me!

Fire me an email at Tarty, I'll have a look later, pretty sure I have some bits!

The ones that come as a kit with the integrated booster are, the ones which are just clamps aren't designed to be used like that.

Yep, TNNs.

This sounds like one of 'those' frames where the batch had an oversize / non standard bb thread... Onza had some custom BBs made to fit. There are no ISIS BBs available, you'll have to stick with square taper unfortunately.

Can't you just cut a bit off the track rods Pete? Unscrew them from the ball joints and get handy with the hacksaw...

Should find it helps every time you apply any power with any steering lock on, given how much power you have!

Yep, front ARB too stiff. Lots of camber is good for grip, but will wear tyres fast if it's only used on the road. George, I've been in a Civic with a Quaife diff in it, was completely magical compared to the normal FWD frustration. Glad you like it!
