Fast tires mounts tires on actual MTX wheels, so I am sure they will have the correct offset. I am wondering about the dish wheel they have. Does it have the correct offset. Also, what about some of the other GRP brands, such as Enetti, Ellegi etc. I would prefer not to have to use spacers to get the correct width. Can anyone shed some FACTS on this subject please....

So, does anybody know what the offset of the GRP branded tires that does use the actual MTX-3 wheels?

i think the correct offset is 2 degrees for the wheels as fast tyres have a mtx-3 specfic wheel i think. which has the 10 spokes in shape of an arrow.

You can use any tires, any offset. Just add the the MTX-2 1mm wheel adapter spacers on all four.

mtx3 prospec
does anyone know when the mtx-3 prospec hits australia and how much it will cost?

The MTX-3 Prospec has been out in Australia for a little while now. I am not exactly sure on the price but I think its about $100 more than the standard kit.

Clutch bell
What is a good way of removing the gears from a clutch bell. I use loctite on mine, tried warming the bell to 400 deg for 5 mins but still no luck to back off the gears. Any suggestions.
Is there a tool to remove the gears from the bell, if so who make it?
