Well I have bit the bullet sold the fron Weltmeister 22mm bar, and picked up a Nascar Hand me down.
As of today all the parts are in except the bearings, I will have them tomorrow, TSC (Tractor Supply Company) has the parts I need. I liked smart racings graphs so much I had to make my own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Foot Pound numbers are the upper column, size is across the bottom. With the arms I am running these are the rates I can achieve. Mr. H. Ross Perot, would be proud of me. Attached image(s) |

The theory of big bars and soft springs. has some interesting benefits.
Car will stay flat but should followbumpy surfacesbetter with a Koni sport set 1/2 range or so. |

Yes it does have some points, but also there are downsides. I can't even consider it on our bumpy venues for fear of bottoming both the chassis & suspension. The "as low as you can go" is out the window with soft springs for the same reasons, even on "normal" venues....just suspension bottoming problems. Squat & dive also can become an issue. We'll expect reports as to how it is working out. |
