If all goes well fitment takes about 45 mins.

Yeah, you can stand there and watch if you like....

might be interested in one of these over the winter.

if you have access to a mill have you thought about making radial brake legs/brackets. the bracket would bolt onto the original fork leg lugs but allow you to use radial brakes. i think a lot of people would be very interested in that.

That's an interesting idea, thanks, and we'll have a think about it...

I won't put words into Dave's mouth, but I think he's quite happy with his new flywheel.....

Thanks very much to everyone who's bought one of the flywheels, hopefully all of you who've got one fitted are happy with the performance and handling improvements....

We're changing slightly how we deal with the flywheel orders from now on.

Of the 8 flywheels we've received in exchange for lightened ones, 2 of them are not fit for further use. Obviously the customers weren't to know that and supplied them in good faith so we'll bear the cost, but we can't afford to carry on with that attrition rate.

We also thought that all flywheels were interchangable, within the same model type, as the part numbers are all the same. However this isn't the case - there appears to be an occasional bike where the flywheel and crank are matched due to tolerance build up of the tapers and you can't fit another flywheel. Many thanks to toshy595 for his patience and understanding whilst we sort this out on his bike.

So from now on, rather than supplying flywheel assemblies on an exchange basis, we will machine your own flywheel and return it you. We can turn round a loose flywheel in 7-10 days absolute max, normally quicker. If you want it fitted we can machine it whilst you wait if you bring your bike to our unit in Basildon.

Default Curvy lightened Flywheel assembly

No worries, as an engineer too, I empathise with your project completely, as much as I wanted to be embracing the performance upgrade, patience is a virtue. & I believe to marry the same parts lightened, to be a much more efficient & reliable way forward in your venture. Will liaise next week to arrange the upgrade👍
