My racetech warmers have just come through the post and they are massive! Laid them out on the floor and there is no way they just cover a 17" wheel, they are so long maybe a tractor wheel is more accurate. Has anyone else got these? Can't get bike out atm to try em on!
Was it not racetech tyre warmers that have a habit of setting on fire , i am sure Andy of here had some set on fire .i am sure there is a thread on here about them .
Poor guy.... they've just arrived at his door that's the last thing he's gonna want to hear!! I have two friends with racetechs who have never had any issues so fingers crossed from a good batch
they may look bigger,but dont forget they need to overlap the tyre a bit. they will be fine dont worry.
I know when i was looking for tyre warmers spoke to a few lads at Oulton park and they said stay away from race techs but as you said maybe just a bad batch .
To be fair to ractecs i think the melt down was my fault ! And this is a warning for all ........... Warmers where on for the last session of the day which was red flagged as some one had fell off on first corner, anyway long story short I rolled up the tyre warmers whilst they where still warm which can cause a bit of overheating in the centre of the roll !! So next trackday rolled em on the tyre without looking inside of warmers, until the distinct smell of melting rubber made me pull em off. They where fcuked Tbh I didnt buy them again coz the tie cords are a pain When fitting,Elastic edges are much easier to use.
Popped round for a beer (he'd had a few) and tried one on in his garage and yeah approx 8-12" overlap. Don't take advice from a drunk...... To be fair I couldn't even get them back on later after a few myself so I would say zero overlap by my reckoning
