Nowt wrong with just 5 cogs, I'm toward the sharp end and its no hindrance. So was Chris Clarke and Tom H, on little 583's and they are only 5 speed.

Spoke to Dallas about it earlier when he popped around, he didn't think there was much in it between a 5 or 6 speed box

Cheers for the info Neil, different issue than I thought then.

As you would say better off spending the money on tracktime

Agree, 5 speed not a problem, in fact less changes equals less hassle! In my book anyway...reckon racing electrc bikes next

You were up the front at Snett Brian. Just keep doing what you are doing. See you in March at a grid near us.
