    22mm axle

    Thread Starter: jato

    presently on the lookout for a 22mm axle around 285/290 long... i see some motocross bikes have them but surely not 290 long. its for a track bike- the swing arm is made for a 20mm axle but apart from being puny the slots are quite loose (maybe 20.4 or so) . 25 is real tempting but that'll reduce...

    Not sure if this FB link will work? Please read if you ride on rural roads in the Auckland region. There are a number of roads I simply no longer ride, especially in winter. https://www.facebook.com/groups/aucklandmotorcycleclub/permalink/1905301729914125/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v Here...

      Weather got better for the race in the afternoon, although it was still a bit windy. Great race to watch.

      Some technical infringements in one new class which were apparently sorted before they went out on track

      That's because we're a class that always sticks to the rules

      I didn't quite make 1 lap in the lead, Pirate got me with a few metres to go so Drew is currently one up on that score

      Indeed, but they got off on the grass at that last start but the CTAS coverage wasn't close enough to show us exactly what happened, and they had a good comeback from that - well done boys .

      His favourite action? What about you Kick were you happy with the weekend?

      I watched a bit of the CTAS coverage and that was pretty good compared to previous efforts including the post race interviews.
