How'z the preparation going folks?

I've done my usual shameful lack of preparation;

Checked oil; NEGATIVE
Checked tyre-pressures (still on originals!!!); NEGATIVE
Cleaned machine; NEGATIVE
LOOKED at machine; Did so only whilst loading and un-loading it from the van on the way to my wedding!
Track-day at Brands; WATCHED the Dave Harris Memorial.

There...shocking.

However...despite running nothing more than standard gearing all season I would like to try some different gearing at Brands as everyone seems to swear by it!

Now, bearing in mind that I am both a tight-arse and v.poor after getting hitched to the lovelly Becci a week ago last Saturday (many of you will have met her wandering round the paddock)....HERE'S THE RUB;

Can anyone lend me a 43-tooth rear sprocket?

I promise I'll look after it!

Regards, and good luck to all DDers on Sunday!

I think 41 is standard gearing, isn't it? If that is indeed the case then that is what's on #99 already!

Gawd, how can I go through an entire season's racing without twiddling with ANYTHING....I'm not a propper racer!

Soory Andy can't lend you my 43 at the moment as it is option 1 for Brands with a 42 as option 2. For BB bikes I would suspect you would be looking at either a 42 or a 41.

deffo............41 or 42 with 41 being the better choice but only slightly i think..............that is with 14 front of course

Phil...you're asking the wrong man....do you honestly think I've removed the front sprocket cover to reveal the number of teeth? Of course not...but I'm assuming that there is an original 14-tooth jobbie there

42...43...does it really make much difference?

Skids...I'd always swallow my pride and have your No 2 "cast-off"
