Track bike specifications?
Hi There
Does Manchester and Meadowbank tracks had specific dimensions required for bikes?
I'd like to convert my winter fixed into a track bike but a friend thought I might need a bike with a high bottom bracket and short cranks.
Any Idea if there are minimum and maximum values for these at these tracks?
Thanks

I've never seen specific specs published although I have heard of bikes being checked at Manchester in the past but if your BB height is 11.00" - 11.25" and your cranks are either 165 or 170 you won't get pedal strike on the banking.
Before I got a dedicated track bike, I used to ride my '05 spec Langster at Newport with no problems and the dimensions on that are 11.125" BB and 170 cranks.
