How light can a flywheel get? Bling and more bling

Flywheel

234g????? I bet it doesn't idle very well!

Hmmmmm........ ideal for the racer maybe but, not the road bike I think.

I've just been a very bad lad and spent a lot of money.

I am struggling with that exact item at the moment.
it has no marker for timing. but I have been told it does not matter.

Looks like we're all playing with those centripedal forces. I've just had a titanium clutch basket fitted.

Purchased one of those Alloy flywheels last year for my 955 Corse motor, by the time the starting gear was bolted to it it weighed about the same as the original Corse flywheel so will hopefully be OK.

Was there not a post from Shazzam all about flywheels????

Did he not sum up that bike manufacturers spend loads of hours getting these things right only for other people to think that they know best?????

That was my conclusion

And the majority consensus that replied was Shazzam knows a hell of a lot but he isn't always right....

Yeah yeah I know bolt of lightning is going to strike me down where I stand....

thats not what i concluded from the 'shazzam conclusion'

Davieravie · 24-Mar-2006, 22:54

Just like the majority voted for the Labour party and according to another thread, theyre not right either

wolverine · 24-Mar-2006, 23:08
