What if that tooth is the diffrence between being on pace or the B-main? In all honesty the change required is a lot more than a tooth. Its a change in wire gauge on your 7T, a change in brush spring tension, timing, etc. This change is often the diffrence between victory and anonymity.
Winning is the ultimate goal not just finishing. Second place is first place loser.
