    Wheels...

    Got some wheels. 17X3.5" rear, 17X2.5 front. How suitable are they to 125GP sized slicks?

    For the rear I would prolly score a Dunlop superbike front hoop to get some height to be honest, but looking at Richard's front tyre the other day at Manfield I notice the thing looks about an inch wide.

    Chur.

    Hmm, if only there was some way of finding out what wheel sizes an RS125 had. . .

    Maybe some sort of electronic depositary of information accessible to computer users
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Point taken.

    2.15" front and 3" rear on the early NF4, and the exact sizes I have on the later ones.

    Pointless thread then, my bad.

    Not any time soon. Work to do on other things, and I don't enjoy not being able to run up the front.

    Harden up Princess, if you cant run at the front it's because you're not good enough, only way to fix that is more racing and get better at it

    I don't doubt it.

    Doesn't make motivation any easier to find, knowing it though.

    This has been covered endlessly. It is very little in racing terms. It is however WAY more than I am prepared to spend, to race in this class.

    So you want to run at the pointy end but want to do it for fook all.........good luck with that. I'm yet to see a cheap way to win in motorsport...........period.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.
