“Should”. Apparently some of us have never seen the results of a hardened steel axel in a cheap lower grade steel dropouts found on cheap bikes from Walmart and their ilk.

"Should be fine" Unless your fork is made our of fairy dust.

How ironic : ) That first race was extremely unimpressive due to the several backfires.

Haha, you'd complain too if someone was demanding 200hp out of your little 65hp legs!! :-D

Come on there's no way that engine is standard 65 hp air cooled.

If you even tried to bore it out to 120, your engine would end up as aluminum dust on the floor.
BTW I'll have you know, my extremely muscular legs, are rated at least 200 hp !

Are you suggesting that the fine German Engineers at Volkswagen would possibly falsify official engine specifications for the sake of Marketing! I'm thoroughly shocked, that would be highly unethical! Who would ever stand for such tomfoolery. Certainly not today!
