PostSubject: How heavy is your wheel??   How heavy is your Bantam? - Page 3 Icon_minitimeSat Apr 02, 2011 6:27 am

My revamped rear wheel has a weight saving over last year of near 200g and because its unsprung weight it should feel more like (x6) 1.2kg..

Every little helps and all that Example :-
Rear wheel steel rim 12g spokes 6.2kg (std road wheel)
Rear wheel ally rim 9g spokes 4.4kg (last season)
Rear wheel alloy(borrani) rim 10g spokes
6 holes in drum 4.2g (this season)

Going out in the garage now to remove steel and alloy brackets to replace with plastic nylon and cable ties... Very Happy

Hi Chaps ,
got in early today and have robbed the bathroom scales to weigh the water-cooled before the missis gets in.
would not say it is 100% accurate but 88.4KG with 5 LTRS of fuel.
off to the rolling road tommorow to test for gearbox ,clutch ,fueling,waterleaks,oil leak issues prior to Mallory on friday, a long way to go to watch!
hope to see some of you there.
regards Nick

Derek you asked me for a magic prescription to go faster?

Never mind, lighter spokes, health spas and fancy Elf fuels; get your hands on one of these.

Our kids love energy drinks, James found this one. I said I had my hands on one for a while !
