Does anyone know what a front 002/racetec would be the equivalent of?
V or U?

Well the V is a much steeper profile than the racetecs I have - so guessing the Powerone U profile would be the closest match  :D

Hmm... not sure which to go for.


£250 is a lot of cake to blow, only to find out I would have been better off with the other...


The front profile on the 002 is ridiculously steep, but I found that helped offset the stability* the 7R is famous for.

Your right - I hate the thought of changing too .. but just keen to find out what its like really.  Will report back after Silverstone - Assuming FE have some with them of course.
