My Haro Group One RS1 had lugs on as well as caliper mounts.So I dont think having them on ya bike is a problem But you can't use them.
Aww feck...
A few people ask about the old school racing scene so I will try and include all relevant info in this thread.OSS racing is a great way to get back into BMX or even for first timers, there is no pressure and competition is what you want to make it.There are quite a few tracks in most regions that will allow the Old school to have a gate at races, the main exception is at national level. The best ones are at club level where its a pretty laid back event. Contact me with your location and I will put you in touch with a local OS rider who will show you the ropes.Rules. Old bmx bike (preferably pre 1991 and 20" wheels) must have a 1" threaded headset and caliper brakes.Crash helmet, gloves, long sleeves and trousers or suitable pads must be wornRegisteration varies from £2 to £10 depending on where you race.Licences are only needed if you race at regional level or above.Dont take it too seriously, its ment to be fun
I only ever raced once, at Woodham Warriors in about 84 or so. I'm in the process of building a Haro Group1 RS1and would love to give it another go, wheres my nearest track now, WW is no more isnt it?

There is a bunch of guys getting together to rebuild the old track. Have a look on herehttp://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7014068622Or pop down there on a Saturday if you are still local, you will probably find Scott Weeks and a bunch of other guys doing some work down there.If you are still in Woodham you have got Braintree and Dagenham tracks that are not to far. If you want to have a go at racing, get yourself down to MK next weekend. It is going to be mental.

We have a few mutual Facebook friends so I reckon its him although his pic dont look like the Scott I knew, not saying he hasnt aged well or nowt Would love to come to MK but im going to Ford Fair. Hopefully be able to make some other meets tho soon.

We had the gate up the other day, bloody heavy thing it was.Think the next dagenham meeting is a summer series meet on the 17th August
he does know Martin, so that would be him.
