Col Fink replied to Luke Gunnell's discussion Arrow AX8 Starting Setup"Generally, the first place you want to start with any misbehaving kart is seat position.
I'd think you need something around the following numbers:
A: 20mm
B: 85-95mm
C: 195-200mm
I've written a four part blog series about kart seat…"

Col Fink replied to Michael Jones's discussion First Kart (Brand)"They were distributed by Tralee and Derek Cunningham from Parkes for a while (after the Perth guy).

Col Fink replied to David Richardson's discussion how about letting members choose the tyre we want to use!"Ever seen a successful corporation run by democracy? It doesn't work, unfortunately.

Col Fink replied to Peter Edgar's discussion Bonjour Monsieur Denton !"Wow. The standard of argument in here has genuinely gone up a notch. Good work, team.
My post contains no lies or mistruths. It contains my perception of events, which is every bit as valid as yours."
Col Fink replied to Peter Edgar's discussion Bonjour Monsieur Denton !""Many have a justified fear of saying anything on here Col because their ID is known, and that puts the AKA in a non desrved powerful position."

Hello Col,
I'm afraid it is the same person...
Pleased that you say some things I wrote were useful for you, and hope I didn't lead you down to many long and winding dead ends.

Mal Crosher said… tell me what type of guitar first. easier to do on nylon string dreadnought accoustic. Don't worry about neck twist, is due to bad storage, handling etc.
you will get it to hold tune but better off doing bass strings on top and guitar on bottom. too hard to slap and pop a bass down there.
