Title: To Clake or not to Clake. This is the question. Post by: Ken R on January 12, 2009, 03,59:08 AM Hey Wade, how is the new bit of equipment going?
Title: Re: To Clake or not to Clake. This is the question. Post by: Serge C on January 12, 2009, 05,27:48 AM I have spoken to Wade about the Clake, and he loves it! He wonders how he ever rode without it! Title: Re: To Clake or not to Clake. This is the question. Post by: Paul Smith on January 12, 2009, 11,24:50 AM Had a bloke on a Marysville ride in Dec who could have really used one as he didn't have the necessary appendage to use the std rear brake lever.

Can I have a go of the Clake on Al's ride if you don't mind riding a WR250 with a foot brake. Brad P.S. Ken is dying to ride but is in Caravan mode, he is torn! Title: Re: To Clake or not to Clake. This is the question. Post by: Ken R on January 14, 2009, 09,37:29 PM Torn!!!! I'm Friggin RIPPED!!! No riding till 2010. Will probably have to fit a Clake to the 570, I'll be needing all the help I can get. We are really looking forward to our trip though, so there is always a plus to the negative. And while 4WDing is no where near as exciting as the bike you can always have a cuppa with the misses while admiring the views.

Post by: Brad on February 01, 2009, 08,20:23 PM Borrowed the Clake bike and took it out yesterday at Neerim South yesterday and most people had a go on it.
Takes a bit of getting used to, only locked up the rear up twice in the learning process as I tried to grab a fistful of clutch which was now a Clake. For me its main advantage is steep down hills, definitely easier also the gear changes popped faster with the Clake hydraulic clutch. Brad |
