Hi guys i wasnt sure exactly where to put this but really wanted to share it with everyone.

It is a long read, 38 pages at the monent but i highly recomend reading the whole thing.

I went for a ride on the weekend with some of these guys(35 other bikes) and they are a real friendly bunch.

Anyway have a read and see what you think.

Russell.

yeah, same, spent the better part of 3 hours reading through it.

couldnt take my eyes off for the screen for a lot of it.

incredible story, for someone who very nearly lost her life (3 TIMES!!!) to this, teaching herself to walk again, writing her own book...

and the NR community, nothing but respect for them after reading that,

so many people throwing themselves behind someone they didnt even know.

great stuff.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
