what he said ^ & yes I lost loads of time in qualifying & in the race I entered recently so I want an end solution before the next one. If I'm beaten by a better/fitter rider then respect to them, but if I'm beaten because I can't pedal & or I'm stationary trying to pull my chain out of my guide that's really annoying.

Btw Bonfire Karpiel are still in production & still kicking ass, take a look at their site. You might have also noticed that a lot of the more famous brands are copying the design, they're a decade behind but better late than never I supposeBig GrinI don't mean to sound bitchy, just bringing you up to speed.
