    Race prep Bike for Rookie race?

    I know, do a search but couldn't find and its not clear on Penguin.

    A friend's bike isn't race prepped, can he Penguin Friday and Rookie race Saturday without being safety wired????

    Thanks,

    Not quite sure what the Penguin School requirements are, but for the Rookie Race you'll have to go through and pass LRRS Tech.
    If you are taking the Penguin School but not doing an LRRS race weekend until later, you don't do your Rookie Race until your race weekend.

    thanks, it looks like he'll get away with Penguin by just epoxying "wet" bolts.

    You don't have to safety wire for Penguin.

    So "LRRS tech" would mean you have to have safety wire for the rookie race...

    Is what I thought.

    You thought right

    To break it down:

    Penguin does not require full race prep.
    Rookie race falls under LRRS and requires full race prep and tech

    I'll bring the wire and pliers if someone will show me how to do it right.

    Well my bike is pre-drilled already so that should save some time and cussing.

    if we have more than a few guys, i dont mind bringing my drill press and a few sets of safety wire pliers, but otherwise... i'll just lend a hand where needed.

    P.S. have mre than one 1/1" drill bit if you plan on doing it with a hand held drill.
