When you're measuring that 22.6, are the caliper jaws hitting the springs. I noticed when my shoes are worn that you have to make sure that you're measuring nothing but shoe. The caliper jaws can hit the coil on the springs and give you a false measurement. Just an FYI. Can you check again?

Ok Thanks. Just checking to make sure you weren't hitting something else when measuring. I've got some old shoes and I'll throw them on a flywheel and see what they measure to compare. They're thin but worked fine. I personally couldn't tell the difference on the track. I replaced them just because I thought I should and not because I had to.

Well i gotta ask, if you're sponsored by answer why are you running your shoes so thin? I'm sponsored and for the bargain price we get clutch parts for theres no need to run a ragged clutch. I get great service out of answer clutch parts. Since they're such a bargain i change everything out before the 2 gallon mark to keep things working like new.
