Have you had a recall?

-   Hanging brackets may fail under hard acceleration and deceleration.

I didn’t realize you had any acceleration let in you these days
keep it rubber side down

So it's the deceleration that’s the problem. Hope you don’t drop your undercarriage.

Hope to be there to bring some respectability to the proceedings.

Never thought much about deceleration, but on thinking about it I notice a few others experience the problem of unintended deceleration quite regularly.

Looking forward to a good roll up at this evenings track session.

Maybe this is an area that deserves more mention as most riders are more adept at this than creating speed. Maybe a name and shame file for the best decelerators in Newie.

Best change in velocity. (Δ velocity) was witnessed at Calga. MC went from 16.67m/s to about 4.16m/s in 15 sec. He went down one hill then up the other.
Decelaration: 0.83m/s/s.

My sources tell me that it is too wet.
Is training likely to proceed??

Thanks, Robbo

I shall unpack the car and do some pedalling on the rollers as I have been buried in paperwork for the ATO since last Tuesday evening. 
Hopefully, the next time I'm on the track I will have a "new" steed.
Hopefully, this will translate into more [SPEED
Hopefully.

Graham & Wayne must not be keeping you busy enough if you have time to break down Metro's speed deceleration to such an extent
