Good list from Cargo though of course due to the extreme nature of the ride we have to be sure of a lot of other things too - security of brackets, levers etc, condition of head races and bearings. Stuff that might not be a big deal at a club race but matters on the IoM. The scrutes are generally pretty clued-up so listen to them and do what they say.

Prep in advance, we should all have had some reminders through from Harvey and hopefully have checked the bike complies! I know one thing they were hot on at the TT was that the shark fin does indeed cover the back sprocket even with a small sprocket on and the wheel moved back.

But yes, I'll be interested to see what the new briefing contains as well. As long as it's constructive I welcome it.
