We run 69/30-34 with a 17.5 on our track depending on what the layout is like. For the life of me I do not understand why people run a slipper in stock. Even on wet bluegroove I don't need it with a 17.5. Have all you slipper running 17.5 guys tried to run an eliminator? It's $20 for the Exotek hub and a gear. Try it you'll like it.

Red's

Tires sound ok, 1/2 ways we save & practice in new ones.

This is outrageous....I'm breaking out with my scale....that I just bought and need a reason use. I'm gonna weight 3 smc packs, a reedy pack, and my old TP5400 saddles:

SMC 5800 Square: 274.2g
SMC 4600 Shortie: 211.8g
SMC 3500 Shorty: 152.6g
Reedy 5800 Square: 281.5g
TP 5400 Saddle: oh snap, I weighed it twice......322.9g

I have a Reedy 4100....I should just weigh that one too.

Received 2 kits from tower, both have the old crush tubes. Hopefully the second mid motor I ordered locally comes with the right tubes. Axles in both kits I have now are loose.

How can you tell the old crush tubes from the new crush tubes?

I would never lock or bypass a slipper, its there for a reason. Its there to protect your drivetrain when u land from a jump and are on the gas. People thinking its simply a traction aid are so very wrong, it NEEDS to be there.
