Gilles Rear sets

[Carrera2]

Are they worth it?

I do hope so as I've just ordered some.

Yes, they are the dogs danglies.

As whoever stole my CBR can confirm.

Make sure you locktite on the footpegs (& all other bolts), as they can vibrate loose after a few miles. Also make sure the bearing race is properly seated (& greased), otherwise they seize up. For racing, I'd suggest a simpler option, although you can completely rebuild the Gilles if you have an off.

Bought mine s-hand the rear brake linkage locked the rear brake on. Only needed a little filing to resolve, but didn't notice until smoke started to come from the rear brake. Check everything thoroughly before the test ride!

Cheers for the tips.
