Last time out at Rye I bolted on some Gillard half-mag rims, when I weighed my boy on the track scales he was 2 kg lighter. Stupidly I didn't weigh him with the standard Gillard ali rims on so now I don't know for sure whether the rims were 2kg lighter or the scales were out. Anyone know for sure?
While I'm on the subject what's a typical difference in weight between a wet/dry setup. Again, I haven't managed to compare like for like on the same day but measuring on different days seems to show we're 6kg lighter on a wet setup, including driver in his wet gear. This seems a hell of a lot but can the track scales (at Rye) vary that much from day to day?
