some of these new tubeless  rims can’t be used in the uk at the moment the rim is too wide for our regs and they cost a bomb we still use tubes

They do them in the traditional size of 2.15. But i can see why only the top earners use them at over £1300 a pair

Use of the tubeless rims and tyres in the UK is currently banned on the grounds of cost.

Can only be a good thing at that price. It's expensive enough for the average rider to keep their bikes up to scratch without needing the next bling thing.

Already started working on the drainage so I believe so I doubt there will be any track activity this side of the New Year

D King

B Cook

D Thompson

R Worrall 

Didn't get the time unfortunately 

[Steve Shovlar 10,439]

I have the Leicester riders the other way around. It was a great race.
 

Heat 05: King, B.Cook, R.Worrall, D.Thompson 1-5 (16-14)
Line Up: R.Worrall, D.Thompson, King, B.Cook
Comments: R.Worrall gated but King divebombed him bend 3 lap 1 to take the lead. A fantastic ride from B.Cook to pass Both Lions exiting bend 2 lap 4 to take 2nd and a Poole 5-1.

[Bagpuss 10,780]

Worrall suffered a puncture during the race and ended up crawling over the line in fourth, I think Thompson took him on the run in IIRC.
