Apr 24, 2012 - I wonder what the MTBF is for the alloy used in that vintage of Ducati rear wheel?

Mar 11, 2012 - they've been using single-sided swingarms for donkeys years. if they were dangerous they wouldn't be used.

Oct 8, 2011 - all Mg wheels (doesn't matter if cast or forged or the manufacturer) are suspect. they CRACK! most don't understand that the TRUE cost of ownership isn't just the inital price paid? but also the cost of demounting them at regular intervals and sending them out to a service bureau to be x-ray'd. most race teams know all about this. OZ yrs ago even offered to do the testing and included it in the price. the burden however is still upon one to not be lazy and actually send them in.

Jul 5, 2011 - Might Single-Sided Swing Arms be putting way too much stress on the hub?

May 25, 2011 - type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!

May 15, 2011 - Doesn't this look similar to the accident Robert Dunlop had at the 1994 TT when his Honda RC45 (also a single-sided swing arm by the way) had the rear wheel collapse after Ballaugh Bridge? Some controversy followed that one and rumour had it Medd Racing had altered the wheel somehow to reduce weight. Much worse accident due to higher speed involved.

May 13, 2011 - No you dozy twat, the tyre and the wheel are not the same thing. Is everyone in Essex stupid like you?

May 10, 2011 - I know that.... now xD thanks anyway

May 9, 2011 - The markings say 1198, but look at the list of riders and teams (on the sbk site) and they all read 1098R
VRvale46 Says:
May 9, 2011 - Oh ok, thanks :) I looked at the SBK site (do it weekly) but if I looked at a picture I always read 1198.
M2fiftycal Says:
May 9, 2011 - do a little more research. Ducati puts 1198R tags on all it's SBK bikes because they are marketing the new bike while also trying to get the rules changed to allow the 1198R. All the bikes in SBK are actually 1098Rs instead though. Go to the SBK site and look at the race teams, and it will show you 1098R. Google SBK rules and the 1198 and you can read about all the drama Ducati has raised trying to get the rules changed to allow the 1198R. So far it hasn't worked.

May 6, 2011 - That's an O.Z. racing wheel. I've seen their wheels break like this right near the hub on GT race cars too.

Apr 21, 2011 - Lol fail
VRvale46 Says:
Apr 20, 2011 - ... no! The rubber is the tire and the wheel is the metal (or something) where the tire's put on. :p
xcruzrr6 Says:
Apr 20, 2011 - not when you're trying to figure out who to blame
jstyants Says:
Apr 20, 2011 - 0:25 "his tyres come off, then realized it's the wheel" ... arnt they the same thing?
fabianfonzie Says:
Apr 19, 2011 - its an 1198
fercho2033 Says:
Apr 16, 2011 - NO SABES LO Q DECIS
VRvale46 Says:
Apr 14, 2011 - Is this the 1098 or the 1198? because if I'm correct I read 1198 on Checa's bike
