I read the articles on the website and they mention 28 for the mids and 42 for the lowers. This is on a small loos gauge. These numbers seem really high. Does anyone know any numbers that they tune to?

:: Best place to start is in the Articles section of the

:: There aren't any real numbers for adjusting the uppers
:: or even the intermediates between racing, About all we
:: do on a regular basis is adjust the aft lowers. trying
:: to maintain just enough tension to keep overbend
:: wrinkles to a min.
