Who's in for any of these ones?
I just managed to get a slot for the 10th.
It's looking like reserving a garage is the way to go. We need 6+ names to get one put aside.

I'll be there on the 8th (+3).
That should be enough for a garage if interested.
Plumb, Windy, Zooker let me know and I'll book one?
Marshy can we book it as tarmac talk garage?

Speaking of V02, what hot pressure should I be looking at for a rear V02 slick?
Run around 22-23 hot. I run 17 psi cold and leave it there

This is what I got from Whitey when asking about them.
Hi Michael
There is a size difference in the V01 and V02
The V01 is a 190/650R17, the actual size is 185 mm wide, with a rolling diameter of 650 mm
The V02 is a 200/655R17, the actual size is 201mm wide, with a rolling diameter of 655mm
Both the VO1 and the V02 come in Soft and Medium Rears, the V02 front in a Soft and Medium and the V01 in Soft Only
All tyre compounds are the same as each other, the difference is the V01 and V02 have different carcass construction which makes them feel different to each other
Pronounced Kang-Ah not Kang-Gah
I have booked garage 41/42 under tarmac talk for tomorrow (Thursday 8th).
Me +3 and Plumb confirmed.
Zooker + missus and Windy welcome.

Sorry Simmo, was distracted watching the missus at CSS on Wed so forgot to jump back on here. Will try and catch the TT guys next time
Spent the day in green group taking it a bit slower working on sorting out my lines, and followed around a few mates to get some footage for them. Fair bit of traffic when I did have a proper go but timed a few 1:45's in there somewhere (was asked if I wanted to go to race group in session 3 so must have been doing something right ). Got the lines sorted and the V01 was great, although had a slight tear on the LHS which I put down to possible hot tear or over zealous throttle.

Stu and I are there on the 10th, Pete Frost is too. Are we welcome in the tarmac garage? hahahaha When it comes to v02 and v01, people regularly get confused in the rears.
Like was posted above, the v01 rear is the current 190 slick and the v02 rear is the current 200 slick.
When it comes to fronts the v02 is the newer version and is generally accepted as the best option.

Yep unfortunately ... 1st session, 3rd lap T8. (Right hander) Pretty sure I lost the front, a pretty slow low side, I'll check out the footage tomorrow. Was able to ride back to the pits.
Did a quick replacement of the break lever, foot peg, pulled off the break guard, and fixed up the fairings. Case savers did there job well
Luckily I had a pretty good supply of spares. Although when I get new fairing I'll prob chuck on some frame sliders.

Doesn't look bad though. The carbon frame cover came in handy too, by the look. Good thing you had lots of spares!

Curious Nick if given your race pace v say average red pace if you have flipped to make through race weekend ?
For me was def "contributing" factor for my highside on turn 3
Found myself underpassing and asking too much of the tyre on litrebike no TC on exit full throttle
Was expensive and painfull exercise i dont care to repeat.
Forgot to quote you last time, so here it is again, complete with a spiffy diagram I just drew:
So it should be said that flipping isn't for everyone. If you have a tendency to get high wear on the 'drive' section of the tyre, rather than very even wear over the whole surface, then it's not for you. Once you get a flattened section an inch in from the edge of the tyre, then it's not gonna work out great. The issue isn't the flat spot, it's the raised 'lips' on either edge of the flat bit. You get used to it on the left, then you flip the tyre and suddenly where you had lots of even grip on the right side of the tyre, you now have these ridges. So you start to drive out of a turn on the section of the tyre leading up to the ridge, then the tyre 'falls off' the ridge (into the flattened spot) and it's like riding off the edge of the tyre. Instant no-grip, and there's your highside. I've seen it a lot.
So the trick to successful flipping is to do it before the tyre shows appreciable wear, and again assuming no flattened section on the drive-section of the tyre. As soon as you have a flat bit, don't do it.

That is some great advice Nick, thanks. I had the flat spot and could definitely feel it, but I guess my drive section is different on right handers. The ridge became less defined over a couple of sessions and wore nicely both sides. The bike also seemed to spin up less after the first session on right handers. Again, very happy with swapping. Can't afford tyre machine, but like to drop a 6 pack of to my mechanic every now and then, seems to grease the wheels of industry so to speak
Amazing picture, you have a talent.
