Is that single or twin disc front end Neil

NGRRCs Final round of 2010 at Silverstone the Open class lined up on the grid when the heavens opened and the Race was then declared wet. The riders were given 10 minutes to change their tyres and return to the grid, this included getting back to the pits with the bikes on slicks and the track wets.
If it took 8 minutes to change the wheels that would leave 1 minutes to get off the grid and return to the pits and another minute to get back to the grid from the pits.
Only half the grid made it, our tyre change took around 4 minutes so it wasn't a problem as we had one person doing the front wheel (Me) and another person doing the rear, could have been a bit quicker if it was single disc, but I wouldn't recommend that setup on a Ex Jentin Racing R1

I like Scott's take on it so +1 more to that

done it countless times (at least 6 lol) racing at anglesey

got used to changing the wheels .. 10 mins to change both no problem (with my pit crew consisting of me, me and me)

always saw it as part of the fun.

and it beats wobbling round like a girl (no offence meant to girls who can believe it or not sometimes be able to ride bikes very fast)
