I know this is a very sticky area of bike eligability, and i am not poking the stick in the hornet nest so to speak.
How do yokes fair in the eligability stakes?
Are AW Engineering yokes ok to use? It seems most use these.
Or is it possible to use a betor set (cheaper) and yes i know they aint british but using betor stantions inside a set of road holders are acceptable so why not the yokes?
I dont want to start the done to death eligability thing just need a clear answer on the yokes as i have an Ariel project up and coming and i want to ride the scottish 2 day one day before me knee says i aint playing no more!

Now i am going to batten down the hatch!

Regards Pitley

Clear answer is no they're not as they're Spanish and they're visible which makes them inelligible, simple as that, they're against the regs.

What's not clear is whether anyone would bother if you used them or even whether anyone would be looking the year you ride, that's the chance you take and where the inconsistency lies.

They didn't like my Cota 247 yokes in 2007 which look just the same as the AW Engineering yokes (that should be AW look the same as the Cota actually as the Cota came first...) However, in 2006 no-one bothered about them.

Hi Guy’s

Woody is right a big NO. To the Spanish jobs, AW Race Engineering seems to be the norm. We have an Ariel that was built in Yorkshire, which has yokes hand carved out of two blocks of Dural, in fact most of the bike was hand carved, Hacksaw and File. I was told that it took two years to build, and several files and saw blades. This bike finished well up in this years Pre 65 Scottish. So proves that you don’t have to spend a fortune with cnc’ed parts, if you don’t count the cost of the hours you put into a project.
Ps I have your old frame back from the powder coaters Pitley and she is on the bench being fitted with the new parts being built, oil tank etc, (already broke some hacksaw blades). I have the jig set and the tubes cut for number two.

Regard’s Charlie.
