Dont know about a 29 but I raced a TL1000 and my 1200 bandit round there a couple of years ago and its FAST AS FEK :o :o I ended up going almost back to standard road gearing on the tl as i was running out of gears after a couple of laps practice. And i was read lining the bandit in top on short circuit gearing,( no alternative sprocets, i was on pembray gearing!!!) the drag dowm from church to the chicane seems to go on for ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent track shame there arent any more meetings and no track days, due to the noise :wanker:

Hi there . for Thruxton gearing on an NC29 try running 16-41 that should sort you out.
