Now a BST Owner and a Question (pics)

V8M3 · 03-06-2011, 08:57 AM

Ok.... got the BSTs, Driven 17T front sprocket, Vortex 44T rear, and RK 520 chain installed yesterday. Gotta say, the look of these wheels is incredible, but the feel is even that more incredible. Talk about nimble! The bike feels almost effortless to maneuver. I am wondering if any of the other BST owners would agree? It is very stable on the road. I did have the bike at a 110MPH with a strong head wind and felt no instability. So, any discussion that the bike loses stability at higher speeds with these wheels is doubtful.

A question I do have. In the install instructions for the rear sprocket, it says that there should be 0.5 to 1.1mm between sprocket carrier and wheel hub. Mine has almost 1.5mm. Has anyone else checked their gap? See pic below.

I'll get some new full bike pics when I have some time.

I will check for you in a few hours. But from memory my carrier looks to have the same gap as yours.

I was more concerned with how the cush rubbers would hold up as I am quite hard on them usually. These seem to have given a little already. Hopefully they won't get any more give in the next 5k or so.

Overall I am vey happy with them. I will most likely make this my first mod for any future projects.

Thanks for the input. Maybe Brocks Performance needs to update their instructions?
