Mid-Ohio Captive Wheel Spacer Guy?

    When we raced at Mid-Ohio with AMA, a really cool guy promoting his parts gave us a pair of R6 captive front wheel spacers FOC.

    They worked awesome and now I want to buy some. He deserves my business. Problem is that I lost the card he gave me?

    Any mid-o peeps know the gentleman or his company? Figured its a small market there.

    Thanks Kevin. We primarily make the rear captive spacers for the R6, but that might have been Rick Matheny, as he had some nice front ones if I recall.

    I think we have a winner!

    Pretty sure that was the company.
    Super nice guy that just walked up and handed us a set of spacers and said here, have a set to try out!

    Very cool.
    Got an order to put together.

    I do make them, and Frank's are very nice as well.

    Frank is nice agreed, but your a sweetheart. If anyone needs a lap count in an 8 hour endurance race to be perfect call Rick ;). Good times:up:

    I want to go endurance racing, just so we can use Frank's quick change goodies.

    not to threadjack, but who has some good photos (or a sentence or 2 on how to do it) on how to make the rear caliper captive??

    I just flipped the axle, but I'd be interested in seeing this also

    That is where mine came from. Not only are they SO much easier to work with, but they are good for like 2sec per lap. :D

    yes. i just saw that in your R6 forum bike build Chris

    I flipped the axle around long ago, and that helps.. but captive is a much better set up it would appear.
