Paul Ray Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 How much wider is the wide track set-up than the standard Lotus / Caterham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony pashley Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 In a manner of speaking - none at all... It makes the front track nominally the same width as the rear already is. Before the grammar-nazis wade in - I am aware that I finished a sentence with a preposition.

AMMO Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Standard track is 1270 mm. Wide track is 1336 mm. AMMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 it means you have to replace the aeroquip hosing for the brakes and fit extensions on the rack and dampers as well. You also need a different (ie wider) ARB. Its also another bit of evidence that cyle wings are the way forward - you can't have clamshells and keep the wheels covered by the wings 😬 😬 HOOPY CYCLE WINGS CUCUMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul McKenzie Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Hoopy, Don''t tell me you''ve not seen Caterham''s new wide track clamshells in carbon at £350 a side ......... you''re obviously not keeping up with the game (fashion).

Anthony Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Just wait for me to have the sides of the 7 re-skined ( to remove clam fixings ) and clamshells will suddenly take off as the fashion accessory of the decade - esp in carbon fibre Anthony X-Flow-power; the way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caterhamnut Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 We have standard 14" minilite typw wheels, with A032rs and it *looks* like the clam wings will still extent wider than the tyres with a wide track set up *just*. Does anyone have the wide track set up with clam wings? Yes I know that you all think cycle wings are better...just humour me! ta 😬24,000 miles in 1 year! angus@tinyworld.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
