I had a Associated one-way and it only lasted 2 weekends. They replaced it of course but it's still in the bag. I switched to the Yokomo and couldn't be happier. I have had to use my reemer to get the Associated gears on the Yokomo one-way though. Anyway, I would like to try shimming if anyone could provide a few pointers. Thanks.
P.S. Anyone want a few Associated one-ways cheep?
Yes all three to the one side. It will feel rough until after you run it once or twice. It noticeably increase gear engagement. I have not wasted a gear with it this way.
