Any comments?
Rob, I did on the Aprilia for ~5 months
Worked fine/great. Never had any problems, but don't have anything to compare them to as they are the only ones I've ever used.
Very well made and easy to use. Much nicer than the tyre sox and chicken hawks some team mates of mine used. I used mine for an entire season then sold them to a fellow racer for almost as much as I paid for them. They looked like new and worked perfectly after a full season of use. I'd say they are one of the best tire warmers on the market and now Baker/woodcraft offers the temperature controller that works with the Tire Bakers for the high-end user/race team.
I got mine used (thanks again, Monte!!!!) - they definitely get the job done! No complaints at all.
they work great only used for one weekwnd so far
but they are awesome go to www.bakerracegear.com to read about them
I have had 4 sets now. I used to buy a new color everytime I changed the color of my bike. I am staying with black this time (I think).
All of the sets ive used I have never had a problem. As long as you unplug them after you take them off they will last for a long time.
I will say that Brian Baker might want to cut back on the gas station hot dogs, cookies, chips,etc. Let's just say a little excersize wouldn't hurt. Ya know, the kids a little big in the can!
I've used them the last two season without any problems.
I've got an extra set that has hardly been used at all for sale. Call if you're interested.
Thanks Andy, I will see you in the gym!

Andy,
Brian isn't fat, he's just BIG BONED!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
anyway, I too use Bakers...and I run michelins which
require lots-o-heat...they work just fine for me.

Thanks guys!
I have been racing since 2000...the last two years in AZ. I personally have never used warmers and have made fun of the gys that did! :o I have personally been irritated at the loud racket that the generators make as most people I know buy the cheap-a$$ ones! However, after a cold tire-first lap crash this past weekend on Michelin slicks...I guess I will have to reconsider! I think I will go with the Bakers as they require less watts than most (800 for the two wheels) and I can get away with the quiet Honda EU1000.
Thanks again!
Watts=Heat the more watts the more heat you get into the tires
Quote I think I will go with the Bakers as they require less watts than most (800 for the two wheels) and I can get away with the quiet Honda EU1000.
That's the setup I ran, also was able to power 2 fans at the same time.
QuoteWatts=Heat the more watts the more heat you get into the tires
Yes, but the Tire Bakers have better insulation built into the tire warp, so you don't need to generate as much heat to get the tire to the same temperature. In this case, the lower wattage is an advantage, not a disadvantage as you suggest.
Ah the innovative/high tech method around more power
You will be hard pressed to find any better quality product. Also Brian stands behind his products and will take care of you. Highly recommended.
Baker is a stud....he was instrumental in my winning
my amateur national championships this year...
even tho he dog'd me at the trophy presentation!!!!
sorry guys.... just a cheap plug eh?
Lil-thorny.
I've used mine for a year and have been very satisfied. I have used tyr sox in the past, but they never seemed to get the tires hot enough.
