I rode up to the top of Snow Summit with a couple of guys. One claimed to be an expert and one had never been skiing before. The expert was saying stuff like "It's easy, just watch me." The virgin was looking more and more freaked out the higher we got. I asked him if he knew how to snow-plow. No. Friend said he didn't need to know that. I told Friend to shut up (among other things -- there are advantages to being a mom) and explained the theory of snowplowing in 50 words or less. I grabbed the guy's arm as we got off the lift and he just barely made it off without falling. Fortunately there was a Patroller at the top, and I asked him to keep an eye on the virgin. I have no idea what happened after that, but it was no longer my problem. Why do guys do that? -- Cheers, Bev ========================================= "Welcome to Hell, here's your accordion."
From: Wudsracer on 22 Jan 2008 23:55 Dave, No noticeable difference in flywheel effect. Jeff, There are thirty steel balls. Make every third one a tungsten ball. On GasGas bikes, I like .029" freeplay; but it works well until it gets around .042". I just recently got in a case of Amsoil 0w40 synthetic 4-stroke oil, which I am trying in the transmission. So far as clutch action is concerned, I have never seen any oil perform this well in a GasGas in the last 11 years. Amazing. Working trail last Sunday, my bike spent at least half of the ride idling in gear as I tied flagging tape and looked for a hole in the trees. (and retrieved wayward rolls of tape.) Gear the bike low enough to give you a very slow first gear. Then the clutch will be much smoother on "extreme uphill" and slimy slippery starts. Geared too high, mine will try to wheelie or break loose much easier as I take off up an extreme hill climb. Other than those conditions, I don't use first gear that much, once I am underway. I was completely happy with my Rekluse, until I installed a trials tire on the rear of my bike. The different sort of traction, and how you get it brought on a whole new episode of experimentation with my clutch. That is how I came up with my current settings.
