Can you please eyeball this Fishy and let me know if nylon looks sufficient? thanks, Dave.

I know it's probably ally but I'd cover the foot levers, both of them.

Or recreate them so the sticky out parts are nylon, if possible.

cheers, presume you mean gear lever and brake lever? (where I have tape / garden hose / hot glue)?

when lying the bike down - these don't touch the ground (the foot pegs only fold up to about 60 degrees - not the full 90, so the pegs lift the bike up a bit at these points). of course footpegs can snap off...

Well I'm hoping to pop in & say hi but won't be racing this weekend sadly.

[crazy man]

When I was there the track was drying & next race was dry as. before I left I was down to a T-shirt & thinking jeans for shorts would have been a good idea.

[davebullet]

was a good day. Dry before lunch then the rain came back. Last race had 5 of us - i missed a podium finish :-)

[koba]

It's almost always worth giving it a pun if it is wet at home, 1.5 dry races was better than expected!

I love dragging out the poofter tyres and riding in the rain. None up here for ages believe it or not.
