| Post subject: | After Installing Turbo Fins, MirageDrive Seems Stickier |
I installed the turbo fins and with just pushing them back and forth out of the water it seems like the mirage drive is stickier. I dont know if i somehow managed to get loc-tite in the mirage drive or if this just happens because of the added weight. Any ideas? |

Should not make the drive stickier, but the added weight / mass of the Turbos and the longer masts might make is seem a little heavier to pedal, but not much I'd think. The big difference is when in the water. Maybe the clew adjustments are really tight? back them off to about mid point. |

This is good for power, but back on the clew screw if you think you want less sticker... But I would try in the water before adjusting... Good luck |

The turbo fins will add a little more resistance while pedalling, but you get used to it pretty quickly. you only need one pedal per every 2-3 with reg fins. |
