| Nog - It is about choice, I never stripped and repainted my frame or fairings etc.... I chose to spend my budget on race entries/tracktime and tyres. I had two offs that I put down to pushing too hard on worn out tyres, Oulton and Assen for you history buffs. So my reccomendation is that if you want to race and be competitive, change your tyres as regularly as you can afford.
Franco - you support my point. Kyle new Cadwell very well - so used that to knowledge to put the bike on poll, new tyres, he would have gone even better.
When front runners are selling lightly used pairs for 40. or giving them away, now that is a bargain for the mid pack racers.
Kev - Trust me on the tyres, my experience definitely, and some other pretty fast guy called Geoff. |
