That was back with 121", the skid is relocated and stretched now to 144". As a result of the relocation, the W-arm and control rods are now too short and don't follow the angle of the track. During skid compression, the too-short arms cause the rails to be pushed backwards too far, which causes the tension on the track to be increased *very significantly*. In order to get the skid to compress fully, the track has to be so loose that when its up on a stand, I can fit my hand between the track and the rear wheel without even loosing circulation.
When the track is this loose, ratcheting is unavoidable. If I tightened it enough to stop ratcheting, it will not compress.
