Birel grip

Jean Michel Crettaz · Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 1:31 pm Post subject: Birel grip

has anyone got experience with harder axle i.e. M compared to F.

my current set up is a RY30 that is loose on corner exit, lowered back pressure and narrowed back, longer hubs - tighten bumper and still a little loose. i dont like to run that narrow - around 53 -
i now consider harder axle or try the rear frame stabilizer.
has anyone played around with harder axle or/and back stabilizer?
thanks a bunch!

Harder axle might help. Also you could try narrowing the front or taking some caster out to help balance the grip front to rear.

An "M" or "K" axle AND the rear bar in the flat position will help a bunch. I was having the same issue with my CRY-31-S2 Birel. With a 30mm Birel I would say find a "K" axle. If you find two, let me know. I have a teammate that's looking for one also. Wink

Thats an option too but it is such a minor difference it is really hard to notice... if at all. I tried it and then went back to the three bolts. It wasn't enough of a difference to justify all the extra wrenching involved to change wheels.
