DYMAGS who's used them?

[Tony.OK]

I had a set of Carozzeria rims on my Blade until I started racing, as others have said, very noticable difference in handling, accel etc.
One thing I didn't expect was the difference in getting off the throttle, the bike slowed way faster due to less gyroscopic weight, was like having twin type engine braking.
Took me a while to suss out what to do re susp changes but finally nutted a good setup out.
As a general rule I found that.................more rebound(slower) and less comp due to the spring needing to do less work pushing the wheel out and having less weight pushing against it.

Neill,I have a set of Marvics on my 400 & putting them on was by far the best
improvement I have done to it,turns,stops & accelerates much better,I would suggest light weight wheels & decent suspension, before chasing horsepower

AWESOME to here from a fellow 400 rider - do you mind me asking how much the set you back?? this is kinda the final frontier on my bike i always here good things about them - done ohlins front and rear, pro light discs and got pretty good power i think....... is 80hp at the rear enough YOU ALWAYS Want MORE!!!!

the problem is the one ive found is its only the front - no rear.

It's got to be a good thing if only for the more favourable unpsrung to sprung weight ratio once you have the suspension dialled in a again for that change.

Think back to 89 when the first carbon discs were used at the pointy end of a 500GP grid at Donnington by Rainey. He did it because he could make the bike turn faster down Craner Curves from the reduced gyro effect of the discs. This same effect will come through with the lighter wheel.

That and Dymags are way coool. That's the most important bit!

Loose some weight and you may go faster...
I joined the gym today... Got me a free pair of Nikes SCORE!!

Shoe's wont help if ya have to loose weight off ya ass Marty

As for that other fat bastard, he eats too good now hes gotten engaged lol.

Ooooooo! OUCH! (for both comments YOU BITCH!! HISS HISS SCRATCH SCRATCH!!)

[codgyoleracer]

Dymags .......Why would you need a set of those

[GSVR]

Dymags are the cheap and heavy carbon wheels aren't they? The sort you go for if you can't afford BSTs.

[codgyoleracer]

I agree GSVR, actually someone once told me that the way to go is to use standard wheels and fill em full of lead shot - then let the "free power" of inertia/physics do the rest........ Dont think that bloke had thought things through though....

I could see that working but only if the suspension was eliminated (ie solid).

Why ride over bumps when you can go through them! Kinda like the theory if your heading straight for a brick wall accellerate and the momentum of the bike will carry you straight through it.

The cheapest & easiest way to speed up your steering is to add 25mm to the width of your handlebars

And theres also the added benefit of being harder to pass.

Haven't you got some glasshouses to sell ? Nearly popped in yesterday on the B King, but was going so fast I was well down the road by the time I remembered. Gaz.

Motards lead the way in this repect & you dont see to many Dymags fitted to them
And as for you mr Roogazza - my company quite likes selling glasshouses in your neighbourhood as there seems to be plenty of indivuduals throwing stones around your area.

You would remember the width of an RD400's handlebars wouldnt ya ?, - not too many steering dampers used back then either aye. (of course some would argue that you were actually going fast enough to warrant them.......)
