So I saw a comment somewhere (don't recall where) about adjusting the drive fins for more torque or more speed. I know the brass nut can be tightened to pull the fin in closer to the drive but what is the affect of that? Seems like that might be the way to get more torque (though with more effort). I think I'd rather have less resistance and more speed if that's possible. Does anyone know how tightening (or loosening) the screw affects the drive speed/torque?

Tighten for more resistance (more exercise) but not more speed. Loosen for more efficiency, longer range (due to less fatigue), same or slightly better speed. 8)
