It was for performance. I have wire and am getting it inspected in the spring.
Just wanted to know if anyone had changed to Rod Rigging for racing.

Hi Glen,
I don't recall this discussion happening yet.
So, are you looking at a change from wire to rod as performance increase or
reliability aspect?
As for your question, rod will not be too strong for the chainplates. In
designing rigs the terminations tend to be the stronger parts of the system.
Putting too large of wire or rod up "to make it stronger" will result in a less
reliable system due to fatigue caused by relatively slack rigging, when tuned
properly.
An anecdote, when I had the gang replaced on Sweet the rigger didn't have
enough wire of the size I needed for the uppers. He offered to "upgrade me" one
size larger at no extra charge. I declined and said we can do it next weekend
with the "right" size.
The larger uppers would have been too slack relative to diameter, at the proper
tune and would have fatigued early due to vibration.
This discussion will get interesting if you're looking at rod as a performance
increase.
Cheers, Russ

I am sure this issue has been discussed ad nauseum, but does anyone know
whether Rod Rigging for a C&C35 MK I has any downside. Specifically will it be
too strong for the chain plates.
