Paynep was selling his 583 a short while ago. Worth an enquiry

Dominic Clegg 15-Oct-2006 23:38

ChrisBushell 16-Oct-2006 09:07

I understand that Paul Payne's is sold to a confirmed entrant for next year.

cookati 16-Oct-2006 19:57

I've seen a roed bike for sale with 900ss wheels on... are they wider?

would i have to change back to standard to compete in DD?

phil_h 16-Oct-2006 20:25

Fronts are the same, 900 rear is wider, and yes, it will have to be the 'narrow' one to race.

thanks for that phil... i've noticed most have spokes that widen towards the rim but there are some that narrow like more modern wheels...

are they simply off a later model?

Zimbo16 16-Oct-2006 21:23

Older bikes have spokes that are narrower at the hub and wider at the rim, later bikes have wheel spokes that get narrower towards the rim. Not sure exactly when they changed though, I suspect about '97 but I may be wrong.

Regarding the 900 wheels, that bike may have a 900 swinging arm in as well to take the wider wheel.

Would that need changing back aswell?

Scooter916 16-Oct-2006 21:38

Pretty sure they are the same, I had a 900 ally one fitted to my 583 last year and am looking for another for 2007.

phil_h 16-Oct-2006 21:43

swinging arm, axle, brake, cush drive are all the same - no probs with eligibility there

cookati 16-Oct-2006 21:53

much appreciated
