SFI belt news
(Preview)
If you have not already read your CAMSMAGAZINE issue 158 under RESEARCH RUNDOWN. Page 35. The last 2 paragraphs show clearly to me that SFI belts have no real future in OFFROAD. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Front Hub, Rotor and Wheel Bearings
(Preview)
Just wonder what people are using for front hubs out there on their buggies. If you are using an aluminium hub what sort of wheel bearings are you using, is it a 2 bearing unit or just the standard taper bearing type. Also what brake rotors are you all using? Looking at a few options here! Cheers

Staun Internal Beadlocks. Anyone tried them?
(Preview)
I'm currently running BTR's but am curious as to the performance of the Staun beadlock. On paper they should not only produce a lock on both beads, but also produce a dual rate spring rate from the tyre. Anyone actually used them in a race situation?
