I consulted w/ a very good Type R driver, one of the best in the north west USA, and he said after comparing both 41 and 42T spool, the 42T spool worked much better; the 41T spool is not as consistent braking and wasnt as smooth in and out of corners as the 42T spool...aslo, Schumacher Mi3 driver Paul Wynn comented about this on the schumacher site, and reported the same reults, plus that front 'over-drive" will wear front tires much faster...

Also, most team driver set up use the 42T spool for asphalt racing, like T. Hodge's 2007 RROC....

What have you learned about 41T spool use up front?
