Bike part review: Moto Master Flame disc

Chris Newbigging, 06 October 2010 14:43

Moto Master Flame disc, £200 (approx) Miles covered/time: Five months/eight race meetings What’s good? Stopping power, put simply. This saw blade-like rotor is the recommended brand to suit the SBS carbon racing pads in my TZR250 (a similar set-up is used by some World Supersport teams), and between the two parts I can stick my race bike on its nose ...

Glove review: Held Titan

Chris Newbigging, 10 September 2010 17:54

Held Titan gloves £199.99Miles covered/time: Three months/2000 milesWhat’s good? It’s like sticking your hand in to a fortress, such is the reassuringly tough feeling, but they bed in quickly and give good feel. They don’t get too sweaty, the joined pinky/ring finger is unnoticeable and the securing straps give a snug fit. The gauntlet cuff is good – I have ...

Tyre review: Bridgestone BT-003RS

Chris Newbigging, 23 July 2010 15:32

Bridgestone BT-003RS, approx £220Miles covered/time: Three race weekends What’s good? Tyres for 250s and 400s are increasingly rare – especially sticky new designs. My TZR250 is even harder to cater for, as sticky road legal tyres to suit the peculiar rim sizes means fitting oversized rubber – which doesn’t always work. Save cash on motorcyclye tyres These Bridgestone BT-003RS in ...

Kit review: Berik G-8087 gloves

Chris Newbigging, 09 June 2010 15:39

Berik G-8087 gloves, £109.99 Miles covered/time: 3000 miles/eight months What’s good? Feel is good – the finger seams on the outside make them flexible. The wrist strap Velcros onto the same patch as the cuff strap, so once the cuff is on they’re very secure. What’s not? They didn’t protect me in a crash. Another rider broke down in front ...

Kit review: Arai RX-7 GP Hiroshi Aoyama replica

Chris Newbigging, 09 June 2010 15:33

Arai RX-7 GP Hiroshi Aoyama replica, £589.99 Miles covered/time: 5000 miles/seven race weekends/one year What’s good? The fit. No matter what anyone says, some helmets will only suit some head shapes. I’ve never fitted in an Arai properly – but the RX7 is a subtly different shape to preceding models, and gives me a touch more room around my mouth ...

Tool review: Cruz Tools sliding T-bar socket set

Chris Newbigging, 25 February 2010 16:50

Cruz Tools sliding T-bar socket set, £17.70Miles covered/time: One year What’s good? Before I used a T-bar, I didn’t see the point – I already have a socket set. But they’re so convenient for removing and fitting things quickly, especially the bodywork, brake caliper bolts and gearbox drain bolts on my race bike. Save cash on motorcycle products They fit ...

Chris Newbigging, 10 February 2010 14:15

Product: Halfords Professional cantilever tool box £22.99Miles covered/time: One year/five race meets – 100s of garage hours What’s good? Racing means most of my tools need to be portable, and also easy to find. Save £££s on motorcycle products Drawer units are nice, but for convenience they can’t beat my cantilever box. Open it up and everything is on display ...

Chris Newbigging, 02 February 2010 17:05

Draper 34570 torque wrench, £17.33Time used: 18 months What’s good? Japanese bikes’ cheapo build in places makes it essential to own a torque wrench.
