LC TYPH 70

what colour conrod is it? theres lots of different types of malossi crank, i have a hpc malossi crank (the cheapest one they do rrp £150) and ino it ent gona like a polini evo2.....

 

Its like a bronze/copper coloured conrod..
Is it a cheap pikey malossi one?

 

yer its the cheap one, sorry mate.

 

if u wanna sell it mate my setup wont be as powerfll as yours goooo onnn mssssnnnn need to talk about your tools maty

 

Hmm.... Might wank this off then. Cbb to pay out for new crank.

 

my old rox is running an evo2 on 2extreme crank now without trouble. people get too hung up about cranks, theyre alot stronger than you think.

 

its not JUST the strength that you need, balancing.....thats the killer, could have the strongest crank in the world but if it aint balanced well enough then bang

 

well who ever fitted it and balanced it must have done a good job

 

So perhaps maybe if I sell my crank and get a BGM crank? Or do they only do crank for maxi's?

 

na man they do em for 70s 2, good cranks, trustworthy. stage 6 cranks are nice and sturdy for a good price too

 

Change of plan. All going into a typh now. Got frame, forks an panels on the way.

 

Okay, I was just going to put a 125 rad on just to be on the safe side

 

well you learn something new everyday.

:beer:

 

Yeh the last couple of weeks in the freezing cold iv had to block half of my rad with cardboard inserted between it and the grill just so it runs hotter.

 

You shouldnt really need to do that, the manufacture of these bikes will test them in temps much colder than it gets here.
Ive never had problems with a bike overheating or not getting hot enough.

 

about the crank thing...my gilera 50 seized so i got a second hand crank, took my engine out using mole grips and an adjustable wrench, used a few sockets and some elbow grease to get the engine split, put the crank in changed bearings (also second hand) and then put it back together. after about a month i put a 70s in my bike and im not jokin for the 8 months i had that gilera nothin beat it in a race apart from a rs125 fully tuned and it wasnt even leavin me disgustingly. so yeh ragsin the nuts off my gilera 70 with standard crank hittin bout 70 and it never gave me any trouble, not balanced or anythin like that jus done in my garden haha! jus thougth id tell u my story cos ur all goin on bout balancin them n can they handle it n shit...

 

well you reckon you stuck a "70s kit" on your bike with a thrown together second hand bottom end and got 70mph, beating a "fully tuned" meaning more then 33bhp rs125.

you have no idea how ridiculous that sounds mate, not only is there not a chance in hell of your "70s" hitting 70, but if the fully tuned rs125 only just hits 70 i would be sourly disappointed with my purchase.
