Just wondering if I fancy a little tootle round the track at MK do I need full protection gear. Or just backwards cap and skyway tshirt ?

helmet and gloves with long sleeve shirt and trousers is a bare minimum

but i would strongly advise to wear elbow and knee pads as its a dusty slippery track

If it's stupidly hot just go buy a Calipo or 10

as said, Helmet (I'd go full face) and gloves a minimum but i'd go as covered as you feel comfortable. elbow and knee/shin pads are good if you come off.

Oh and no pegs on your ride if you're going round on your new school ride

Another thing, if you plan on racing in the Old School category (and everyone should have a go, it's a great laugh) then your bike needs to have a 1" threaded headset and a caliper brake (or pitt bull).
If your ride is 1 1/8th headset or V brake then it cannot be ridden in the Old School group.

A simple thread asking about Health & Safety, turns into a bumming thread.

Brilliant work lads.

Butt naked Dan, easier for me to insert my helmet

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2014, 12:19 PM »

The only clothing I need are additional boxer shorts.

Miners helmet and a mankini is all you ever need for MK

Ouchie,what happened? Lost your chain?

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #18 on:** January 28, 2014, 08:21 PM »

freewheel!

Bigbadsam · « **Reply #19 on:** January 28, 2014, 11:17 PM »

So apart from being naked with a good tan or wearing a mankini and helmet combo and the chance of a dry bumming in some ones tent i need to make sure i have a 1" er and caliper ?

Then i'm good to go

That Swan Guy · « **Reply #20 on:** January 28, 2014, 11:25 PM »

that about sums it up!

Jaan · « **Reply #21 on:** January 28, 2014, 11:36 PM »

... 1" er and LEG callipers, you missed that part out, everyone else will have them and you'd feel stupid if you turned up to race not wearing any yourself
