Rear brake would be good.Farfle said:MotorBicycleRacing said:What kind of bike are you racing? What motor set up and hp output?
its a full suspension mountain bike, 20" Kenda Kraze tires and a rear C-lyte hubmotor set up to do 8.20Kw cont.
[edit] Do we need a physical rear brake? I have a pretty serious regen brake on the back [edit]

Building a bike to race in the upcoming SoCal race, heres some specs:

Tires: 20" Kenda Kraze 20x3 on a 32mm rim in the front and a 44mm rim in the back.
OK, let me think about it.Farfle said:The kenda kraze tires are a fatty BMX/chopper tire, not a motorcycle tire. Hence why they are labeled 20x3 not 2.75-16 as are moped and motorcycle tires.

Yeah they are bicycle tires so no problem. Sorry about the mix up.Farfle said:The kenda kraze tires are a fatty BMX/chopper tire, not a motorcycle tire. Hence why they are labeled 20x3 not 2.75-16 as are moped and motorcycle tires.
Farfle said:Not helping myself out much here, They used to be viewable on Kenda's website under "comfort" but it looks like they are not made anymore. but they have been remade in a different tread pattern as the Kenda Flame in 20x3" 24x3" and 26x2.125". here is a few spots where you can find the Kenda Flame:

Gas bikes that were in the Willow Springs race have already been assigned most of the numbers from 0 to 99.Jay64 said:But I seem to recall reading something about certain numbers being reserved for gassers and others for ebikes. Is it at all possible to get #64? I seem to recall that this number landed somewhere in the gassers category of numbers. That has been my race number for years, and I have built kind of a brand around it. One of the reasons that I am doing this race is to continue to promote EVs and I want to use my previous branding to help with this.

If you can make it down to Oregon, I bet PaulD will give you a ride to SF area, where he is meeting with me and some friends to carpool the rest of the way.
