  1. Having just got a track bike, I'm in need of some tyre warmers. Having had parcels arrive for the last week to get everything together, Im running into the buffers of my wifes blind eye to the stuff coming through the door :D

    Does anyone have any old tyre warmers I could purchase for a reasonable price? Obviously working (!) and 240 Volts if poss.

    Many thanks

    Alistair

  3. Ah yes but theres an element of money coming into it now....used should be cheaper than new and thus easier to justify;)

    'So you bought a track bike and now need spare wheels?'

    'Yep'

    'And a new paddock stand?'

    'Yep'

    etc etc

  7. those with the side draw cords are cheap and annoying .......plus you want the heating core to go across the full width of the tyre not just the centre....

  8. Quite possibly...but I'd like to think that people were pretty honest here wouldn't you? Probably more chance of encountering a dodgy seller on Fleabay than via this wonderful forum?

  9. Like these? For 150 quid you get elastic!

  12. We are hardly on the MotoGP grid. Race-Tech ones do me fine, I have my pulll strings trimmed so that there is not to much farting around.

  14. At trackday level there is no such thing as crap tyre warmers. Yes you can crack on straight out of the blocks but for me minimising the heat cycles and prolonging tyre life was higher on the list.

  15. I have the ones listed above. Work no problem

  17. said the man who was shouting at them there cords as they got caught up in his callipers in Valencia.

    I agree re the heat cycles but for a few quid more the HWW are leagues better...
