With the massive change of bar height for Mark I am not surprised he managed such a quick time. The DIY disc wheel is something I plan to use next year on the local TT circuit.

Heather budget was like my grandmother used to say "the ruin of Palmyra" referring to the fact that you spend too much money ("this is the ruin of Palmyra" she used to say), but it proved its worth and it was fun to watch. She is the best even if she doesn't use the most shiny shiny materials. Mark's improvement is otherworldly, and I think he could go even cheaper with the Continental Ultra Speed III tyres which have very good rolling resistance for their price, and not the more expensive GP5000 just for this ride.
