Thats a shame, hope next week for you then.

I may have to copy you on that setup Frayz as it looks pretty damn nice buddy!

Looks lovely Frayz , what depth is that and how is the reach for the stalks?

Just trying to decide on a hub and quick release myself, did you look at the NRG stuff?

Dave,

The hub is the WB short billet hub. It really is very stumpy indeed. The Rapfix adds approx 60mm to the setup. The Momo wheel has a 70mm dish. That 70mm is from the front face of the wheel to the mounting face. the wheel is 30mm in dia so out of the 70mm its actual dish is only 40mm.

Yes stalks are now further back but by no means an issue mate

Yeah i checked out the likes or NRG etc, but i just went for the best i could afford which was the WB setup. Im sure the NRG one is perfectly good, and to add to that ive heard nothing bad about them whatsoever.

But when i saw the quality of the WB setup, there was only one way to go for me.

If you don't need the existing extinguisher bracket I'll gladly take it off your hands and donate some cash to the build fund!
