Paul,
Cool ... 1/8 inch tube reinforcement .. yikes !! Actually, I have no
choice other than to believe it as this thread started because two
people riding behind me said "Wow !! look at your tire leaning over to
the side" ....... I found it hard to fathom the twisting of drive
shaft tube to such a great extent ... and just think ... with the axle
in there ... the tube also has to overcome the arm on the other side
as well ... before it can lean the tire over ... I guess this is a
good tuning indicator .. "if you can twist the tire sideways the low
end is OK" ......... hmmmmmmmm .......... Welcome back already ......
gee .. I just told Jerry F. this evening that you were dust for
another week ... oh well .....
