Your bike looks fantastic @Thomas and you?ve done some great upgrades!

Re the wheel question. I'm not convinced that gold OZ's would suit the bike.

With the Rotobox you're looking at a massive reduction in terms of MOI (Moment of Intertia) which roughly translates to how much effort it takes to move the wheel to initiate turning. On track it's very useful but on the road it can make the bike feel nervous. Just want you to be aware of that. Other than that if they are good for Alpha Racing then I expect they are damn fine bits of engineering.

There was a set of Carbon BST's on the FB group yesterday...

In my personal opinion, I would go for the Rotobox carbon fibre wheels.
They?re lighter than the OZ wheels and IMO look better.

Whatever you decide though, enjoy!

Thanks Guys for feedback

about the wheels eels here is some pictures with Gold & Carbon wheels





In my opinion both looks awesome!

But rotobox or bst carbon make some more trouble in here only 1 shop promised changing tyres;-/ rest of garages say no because they are afraid of damaging.
Oz or Marchensini is heavier than carbon and lighter than stock wheels but less trouble, everyone’s fits tyres.
So that’s from comes my frustration abut make a choice....
i know about rotating mass etc... but to be honest everywhere all guys saying first upgrade should be carbon wheels because drastically improved performance of the bike
so will see I let you know guys when I fit new wheels ;D






I know the ROTOBOX cf wheels looks massive but they are lightest on the whole market!

Dude you gotta go BST Carbon

ALSO: Your red bolt thing in your frame, What is it called and how do I get it

 

[Thomas]

Hi felix

i get it from USA I give you a link it’s hard to get in uk unfortunately;/

about bst I know it is most popular here so that’s reason why I want ROTOBOX BST and ROTOBOX is very close in weight just looks different.

Here red is a link for this cap cover

Ahh you legend cheers for the link <3
I'm team BST all the way In the end go for whichever you prefer, they do make a massive difference in terms of feel of the bike, And I mean massive

@Thomas your tank cover looks awesome!

Thanks Oli ;D

is short story...I bought it from eBay auction for lunch money on the sticker is a autograph of TT rider with number 60 Peter Hickman . I didn’t bought it for autograph but just for tank cover any way I ask seller did is gloss or matt finish? Seller answer it is gloss , so I bought. When cover comes to me I noticed it was gloss now it’s satin;-/ because last owner sprayed satin on the top to secure probably autograph Peter Hickman . Hmmm so I’m decided to remove this satin and bring back to original gloss finish;D it’s took me about 3 days but here’s go looks like from manufacture
