The BRCA are there to represent us, and they do that well, so do give them chance please - if they do something it is for good reason.

The important thing is that the gears are in motion now.

Also, the 7.4v max wording is done so any future technologies that may come can also be looked at and an EB list done for those also, such as Lithium-ion or whatever else. Great idea to make it like this!

Now the official BRCA proposal is set for the EFRA AGM... you can't change it there, you either support it + vote over it, or discard it... as is...

So it's either that or the proposal from Norway to vote for - which is without size restrictions or capacity restrictions, and basically quite similar to existing ROAR regulations. Since EFRA will need time to get their own list ready the proposal is for 2009 to simply adopt the ROAR list...

To make things 100% clear: I'm again NOT talking about the BRCA rules for UK, but the european (EFRA) rules for 2009.

So unless BRCA chooses to change the BRCA rules from their own EFRA proposal you guys can just put your TrackPower saddles up for sale... Again, not my concern... just want to clarify this.

Or you can try to convince the BRCA representatives to not support their own proposal... good luck!

What's the opinion of guys from other countries? Have you discussed it yet? Get in touch with your national association and tell them what you guys want!

you can propose to amand the proposal of 139mm, so it can be altered to read the max dimension of 144mm should that be the figure you want

Saddle-Pack cells are allowed, but must comply with the above dimensions. Saddle-Pack cells must have a combined dimension of 139.0mm max when placed end to end.

its as sipmle as that and thats all that needs doing


in answer to your question " am i happy to let the BRCA boffins sort it"
then yes i am, i know the guys who are representing us, they do a top job, and wont let the out come be a farce that will ruin it for many racers who have the current saddle packs.
