  1. Well, I've little doubt that if it was an alloy or magnesium wheel it would be in at least three separate pieces.

    I was still using it like that and braking from over 146MPH (real speed) for a further session and a few laps of the session after that.

    I wouldn't have been using it if I'd have noticed eh, especially with spare wheels in the van.
     
  2. I don't think forged alloy would crack like that unless crashed into a curb. Did you hit anything with the carbons?? @Air Duck
     
  3. Yeah it's mine, last week (or was it the week before?) 'the other day' anyway.

    @cookster honestly mate, I've seen all sorts of wheels in heavy crashes and they all get completely torn apart - literally, yeah it punched a hole in a wall.

    Top tip: Don't use your bike to punch holes in trackside safety walls :noentry:

  5. I'm debating new wheels for my track suzuki not sure if I like the idea now of carbon :thinkingface:
     
  6. I think they are worth every penny.

    Problem is the replacement cost but how much is a new OEM wheel?
     
  7. Yeah mate, was an expensive day out, plus I've only been able to sit down from yesterday :sweat:
     
  8. Maybe a set of carbon dymags then?? :yum
     
  9. Thats nothing to do with the trackday tho. Tell her to be less rough and use more lube :p

  10. Not sure what to do really, if I just replace the front I could go for RotoBox or another BST, I'm not sure what the advantage is of getting a Dymag but am all ears...

    Set of OEM wheels going on in the morning as I want to use it soon.

  12. Thanks mate, yes I was in contact with them a lot a few years ago after I'd got a set of their wheels, they've always been super helpful and professional. I'll be sending them the pics anyway as I want to ensure they log the damage against the serial and will follow any advice from there :upyeah:

  15. I know - massive faux pas! I lost the opportunity to retake as my lead was followed to take pit lane pics!

  16. Might be worth having a word with Charles at HPS, I had to get a replacement front wheel for my MTS after pothole / crater damage, he did it at cost price, still ***kin expensive but a fair bit cheaper than retail, had to return the damaged rim to him too.
