Are flywheels getting too light?

[maxidave]

Was it Gordon Allen or Paul Ivey who said his cranks were so good you only needed a flywheel to have somewhere to bolt the clutch to ?

I value my nads somewhat higher than a flywheel & backplate

Wise choice - Our old boy engineering chappie had his ear clipped when a flywheel let go big style. Always wondered if it is worth while putting a kevlar blanket over the housing when you get to this extreme.

Good job you pulled it out before it did let go. I’ll definitely be taking a look at mine!

Is this flywheel still on MED`s website - couldn`t find it, but might just be me ?

Yes, they are still offering a similar flywheel. But they are currently out of stock.

I must make it clear, I did not start this as an MED bashing exercise, I was simply pointing out that these need CHECKING!

Appreciate that, have lots of respect for MED - reason for looking, was I thought I had remembered them specifying a particular pressure plate with a light weight clutch assembly - just wondered if that might of been some of the reason for the damage.
