Before I pick up my final client of the day, I'm going to try and get a couple of shots with the Capra's lights on. Just need get close to the client's location first, and to find an "appropriate" location, which matches the Capra's 'theme'. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

Wanted to ask a couple questions regarding the tranny build. 1 Why is the gear on the right slightly higher (offset) from the main spur gear? 2 Is that bad? 3 How tight should I tighten the nut on the slipper. In the photo, I used a wrench and torqued it down crazy hard. You can barely see it, but the plastic spacer under the nut is flexing a tad. You guys have been saying to just tighten the s#it out of it, so I did. Sent from my SM-G965U1 using Tapatalk |

Wanted to shoot some vids but wasn’t happy with the perspective from a GoPro so rigged this up on the transmitter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

So I know the benefits of OD gears in climbing situations. Are there any detriments with having them as far as wear or strain in non-climbing situations like trail running or the occasional bashing since the front wheels are basically dragging the rear to some extent?

Not really. If you have a rig that really moves out to say 25+ mph then you can watch the rear bounce around being drug along but for a normal trail rig they're fine. | |
