DYMAGS who's used them?

[roogazza]

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.

Retirement homes ??? Gaz.

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.......)

Things have moved on a bit from 40 hp huh ? I need 175 just to cart my carcass nowdays Gaz.
ps come to think of it RD's didn't waggle much or have I forgotten ?

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....

In bicycle racing wheel weight is a hot topic - and the fashion changes about once every 10 yrs! World records have been set with riders proclaiming the benefits of their trick heavy OR light wheels...

I'm a light wheels guy tho, so I'll swap Codgey my standards for his carbon Dymags and even throw in my wide handlebars (= fast handling - best kept secret...).

RDs never waggled , they weaved and fell over alot. Then they gave us the RZ and they just fell over more often at a much faster rate

Neil cant run carbon wheels in posties so assume they have ally wheels also.

My experience with lighter wheels was with my old Honda 95 RS125.....

while you have to be careful when you you put expensive (brand named) parts onto your bike (avoiding the "placebo effect", that usually comes with such items) is that lighter wheels really do make a difference, and when you get the set up of your suspension correct it is like "night and day"

I found (after set up changes) the bike turned in easier, held it's line "stronger" on bumpy tracks (like "mighty MINEfield,...... sorry..... Manfield)
as well as was easier to turn in on the brakes.

To test this, I changed back to standard rims on a practice, and it handled like a 1985 GSXR 750 "slab side"...with flat tyres........
Worth their weight (in my opinion)
