Race night done

Race night is done and dusted for today. I didn't do too bad I got a 3rd, 2nd and 2nd in my motos and I came second in my final so not too bad. I made some mistakes in the final on the first straight but over all it was a good race.

On the Bristol track I found I needed a little higher gearing so I am going to either go back to 37x16 or I think I may go for a 42x18 as it is supposed to be a little better out of the gate and out of the berms.

Also the guy who beat me was riding a 37x16 and he seemed to just get a little more power from his peddle strikes than I had and as he went around the track the gap got bigger.

I have a 42 tooth front chainring and also an 18 tooth rear cog as well so I think I will give it a try as I was going to try it before I bought my last bike but the s&m frame wouldn't take a 42 tooth chain ring as it rubbed on the frame.

I am also going to buy a 41 tooth chain ring as this is supposed to be the best all around gearing and the closest match to a 44x16 on a 20".

I found the 41x18 too spinny last time I used it but I am getting fitter and I think that it may be better now although for Bristol track I think that 42x18 will be better.
