📖 The little story: Alex Sunday

It was the first race of the regional season for Alex, young ambitious pilot in the national category. After the first free trials, Alex returns to the booth, a little tense. "I'm not good in my kart," he said to his father who acts as a mechanic. "I feel like I'm going to look too much to get the steering wheel, i lack precision in fast sequences."

Their local room reseller, Michel de Magickart, pass in front of their stand. After listening to Alex, he takes a look at the cockpit and smiles. "The problem is simple: your steering wheel is too flat and too far. You need an inclined spacer."

Michel searches in his truck and comes out a blue piece: the flywheel spacer Birel original. In 15 minutes, the time to unscrew the steering wheel, to insert the hold and hand up longer screws, the turn is played.

Alex rises on the track for the second session. From his exit turn, he feels the difference. His arms are less tense, his shoulders more relaxed, and above all, it has better control of the front train. He will sign the 5th time, a few tenths of the pole.

The moral of this story: in karting, performance also passes through comfort. A simple accessory like this spacer can transform your driving sensations.

- Michel's trick

"Michel, our technical expert, advises you: the use of an inclined spacer is a simple but very effective setting to adjust your posture. If you find the steering wheel too far away or if you want a more 'high' position for a better vision, this room is ideal. Remember to check the length of your steering column for not being stopped. Alternatively use quality hardware (Class 10.9 or 12.9) and the brake to ensure the safety of your direction."

⚠️ Security Council: The steering wheel is a vital security organ. The assembly of this spacer must be carried out with care. Check the good alignment of the holes, the correct tightening of the screws (to the torque) and the absence of a game in the direction before taking the track.

❓ FAQ: your frequent questions

Q: Is this spacer compatible with other brands karts (eg: OTK, Sodi?) ?A: The fixing distance is standard on the vast majority of competitive karts (3 triangle holes.) Yes, she will go on a hub OTK, Sodi, CRG, etc. However, aesthetically, the room is blue and refined Birel, and its shape is designed to integrate perfectly with columns Birel ART.

Q: Does it change the position ?A: Yes, the effect is immediate. In general, this brings the steering wheel from about 1 to 2 cm (depending on the spacer model) and above all, this is the top of the steering wheel, what breaks the angle "flat" type van and offers a plus "race" position or "sedan."

Q: Is the plastic matter strong enough for the competition ?A: Absolutely. It's the original room mounted on new karts out of the factory Birel ART. The plastic used is a very high resistance technical polymer that will not deform under the normal steering effort, even with slick tires and a lot of grip. The advantage of plastic is also to stay light.

Q: Do I change my steering wheel screws ?A: Yes, imperatively. The spacer adds thickness. The original screws will be too short to take enough nets in the hub. You must obtain 3 milling head screws (usually M6 or M5 depending on the flywheel, the value of the spacer.
