Those are not those pretend derny's, they are real motorpacing motocycles and the bikes behind are real pacing bicycles.

Artson · Postby **Artson** » 24 Mar 2010, 23:14

The forks are bent back and the front wheel is a smaller diameter to allow the rider as close to the motor bike as possible.
The distance to the roller is set in the rules.

Good idea Tim. At Beaumont rd a rider banged his handlebars into my hip and freaked when it was no big deal

When you see how he comes off the bank, it says 333mtr to me, so I looked it up

Track length: 333,33 m
Width: 9 m
Surface: Wood-Siberian larch
Bend: max 42

kieran, heaps good

jbcow · Postby **jbcow** » 13 Sep 2010, 17:35

heaps good apart from the sqirmish feeling it leaves you with. Not sure quite what Chris Hoy's tactic was sitting so far off Ross Edgar's wheel. He was waiting for another wheel to come by but why put so mch distance between you and the next guy?

timyone · Postby **timyone** » 13 Sep 2010, 17:46

so you can do a run onto him, its easier to reach a top speed when your on a wheel, even that far off, where as the guy on his right, would be heading into the wind.

jbcow · Postby **jbcow** » 14 Sep 2010, 14:44

Fair enough, I guess the difference between me and Chris Hoy is about 1300w and 30kph. I saw him at Manchester World Classics a few years ago and he was a marvel to watch, they all were.
If I sat that far off in a Kieran, I'd be out of the race. Especially if it was Ross Edgar in front of me. Whoops, day dreams over.

Simon Llewellyn · Postby **Simon Llewellyn** » 17 Nov 2010, 20:48

one of those not actually disc wheels that has a cover over spokes! some one said they arent legal!

It could be a lightweight disc though, they have carbon spokes on them & are legit discs. Based on the front 5 spoke it is very likely.

T-Bone · Postby **T-Bone** » 17 Nov 2010, 21:51

This photo says Araya. Doesn't look like a lightweight to me.

Japan.

christian · Postby **christian** » 18 Nov 2010, 08:43

That wheel isn't the current offering from Araya, there current wheel is black and is a honeycomb core. The Lightweight disc wheel is that sort of construction http://www.lightweight.info/index.php?id=29&L=1 . The Sugino T-spoke was another strange one, it has 256 kevlar spokes under a mylar cover.

Here's the splinter

timyone · Postby **timyone** » 22 Feb 2011, 16:55

Hoy just won the Kieran at a world cup, at his home town, so sorta understandable that he celebrated like that. The crash was just one of many others that hes ben near, its not like the big once off that it is for us.

Fair point Tim. I guess I was looking at it from the ammature angle which probably isn't right for this level of sport.

Toff · Postby **Toff** » 23 Feb 2011, 13:55

Hoy had just gone around everyone of the guys that crashed, while they were upright and going as hard as they could. He was streets ahead of them, and would have won regardless of whether there had been a crash behind him or not. He has the complete right to celebrate that win.
