Fast Frank's Quick Change Kits

[Phat3R]

Might add this to my Xmas list, to make wheel changes super easy.

FYI

Anyone had any experience with these?

Always thought about buying those.

But then decided the only time you swap wheels is when you have a break in the sessions etc so no need for speed changes.

Then thought about the convenience of it all and decided to buy a second R6 instead

A man after my own heart! Wait, that sounded a bit gay... not that there's anything wrong with that. I mean, that's what I do too - just carry a spare bike! There's no need for quick wheel changes (eg when the rain comes 5 mins before a race), or any real need to carry additional spares, if you just pack a spare bike instead.

Also help in regular brake cleaning if wheel is easier to take out ...

But if you have the coin a second bike can't hurt ... ;)

I have a number of Fast Frank products on my bikes.
Not for any quick change purposes but to do less damage to the swing arm and wheel when that Flucking Caliper bracket drops out just as you put the wheel in.
And i do believe Nick, i gave you an axle guide from FFR over a year ago that i've never seen on any of your bikes.

The axle guides are quiet handy. I'm having a bunch made up for R6's .More on this soon.

I'm now extra keen to check out your new wunder bike on Friday. ;)

I've got frank's captive spacers they work well but the caliper hanger can still be a prick at times

That's because you're hardly at the track ;)

It was on my champ bike for a good 6 months before I completely got the shits with using my socket riiiiight on the very edge of the nut the whole time. Loved the concept, but none of my 32mm sockets would fit over it and onto the nut solidly. So the axle was much easier to insert, then the nut was much harder to do up. Swings and roundabouts.....

But I did appreciate the gift! :peace:

The new ones have solved that stupid problem by cutting the end of.
