I missed out on the last run of motoyoyo clamps because of a lack of $ at the time. Well last week I e-mailed Scott Hartley on the off chance he had any left overs.
It seems a few were impatient and canceled. Their lost my gain. I got the last black set. Scott said that there is
one silver and one gold set still avaliable.
They came yesterday so I spent today installing them. Not a bad job. I made a jig similar to the one Bill Swartzwelder made, and had to turn down a 46mm deep socket in the lathe so it would fit. Other than that no real problems.
I just got back from a ride and have to say there is a noticeable difference. I rode Valley Chapel RD, which has many tight (bumpy) corners. I have ridden this road many times on the s, so this gave me a good chance to give an honest evaluation of the new clamps.
I couldn't get the tires warm enough to push real hard, so I keep sliding the bike. The front end is much more planted in the corners with the Motoyoyo clamps. I noticed it the most in the real bumpy corners. It's supposed to warm up tomorrow and Sunday so I'll have a better chance to them through the paces then.
Oh and they are beautiful too!!
Here are a couple of pictures of valley Chapel
Thanks Scott I'm a believer.
