It has been and " IS " relevant to the Motogp thread! A discussion had been started about wee Pedi's problem and tire management/tire pressures for grip and how to manage tires better. Open your eyes guys and think out side the square, even if this is just KB and a bunch of who know;s what on here. Also relevant for the 99% of road riders posting in this thread, as it could/will help you all get better miles out of your tires if you think about it and act on it, ie Nitrogen to start with, and correct tire pressures for the tire, and not for the bike as per 99% of bike shops set them too, loosing you all quality and life span of the tire and $ out of your pocket, sorry for thinking for you!

Frosty, thanks for your input and agree totally re fractions of a second over a lap or a race distance, that is what helps win Motogp and any races, a little bit here and there adds up after how ever many laps in total.

Oh I agree it was on topic for the record, I just had nothing useful to add to it (as usual)

Funny enough the other thing Nitrogen has in its favour is it has no oxygen. With no oxygen you get less long term tyre degradation not so sports bike important maybe, as the tyres shouldn't last that long, but for tourers the tyres should actually last longer.

Other things applicable ie Bucket racers on kart tracks 18-20 psi cold is needed to get the tyres working.

back in the day there was also a kart tyre paint on goo that is now banned it used to be made here in NZ and smelled like wintergreen worked a treat on making tyres more grippy. I have no idea what solvent it was based on. but its banned here in pretty much all forms of racing.

Just had to open the eyes of this muppet and his post #3101. If you have nothing positive to add, stay the fuk away then. A sidecar team for example could maybe learn some thing also re tire management, and with 3 hoops on the ground at once ( Hopefully haha ) there costs for tires are bloody massive if they are serious.

Who pissed in your milo? it was a valid point, why do you think I stopped posting about air/nitrogen?

Ducati to trial new winglets at Sepang?

Really looking forward to the race.

Hell yea, but also a bit of a shame really that the shoots are long enough for the Ducati to motor on and mess with a great points battle between the boys though . Wonder potentially if Dovi is ever going to find his true form again? I am starting to think that Crazyjoe has him feeling a bit mind fuked lately, with his hard out riding with physical issue;s and still getting the job done though. Maybe Ducati has told Crazyjoe now that he is NOT allowed to win either, to keep them in the cheap seats for one more year, soft cocks, but guess that is business eh.

You'd be surprised at how long a set of hoops last on the chairs. Arron hasn't put a brand new tyre on his since he got it, and he's set lap records at every track. Once on a set of intermediates in dry conditions.

They are essentially a car tyre, and the chairs are too light to stress them to the level they're made for.

Which works great for us budget racers, we have had one new tyre since we started racing, and that was in the very beginning.

I wonder if this belongs in this thread

[Shaun Harris]

or this one Jl bike on left and VR in middle. Check out the tyre were on them both.

Lol, but Aaron does not need to with such a high quality rig with all the grunt his chair has also man

[FROSTY:Me]

Hi wondering if you can help? I've been out for a few days but appear to have lost the 'MotoGP 2015' thread. Seems it's been replaced by the 'Nitrogen vs. Oxygen in tires or other shit no one cares about' thread

to bring you up to speed.
Last two/three moto gp races tyre degradation was a factor in race pace in the closeing laps. or earlier
Therefore use of nitrogen to assist in maintaining constant pressure is worth fractions of a second per lap in the closeing stages of races.
-however a bunch of guys poopoo this fact.
so the science behind it needed to be explained.

It's no gruntier than when Steve had it, and he used new tyres all the time.

Anyhoo. Having looked into the gas used in tyre thing, yeah. It's just about keeping moisture out. No one bottles dry atmosphere, so nitrogen is used because it's available everywhere and cheap.

A real good moisture trap on a compressor would be nearly as good.

Whoa! back up the bus Sunshine. It was an attempt at humor. More a reflection on the fact that 99% of what you were talking about was going over my head and I would wager over most peoples.

With regard to keeping it positive, would suggest you go back and look your own posts and assess their positivity, especially when you've decided to go off on one.

Happy to play by the rules, boss. Just as long as we all play by the same ones.
