Even the Thunder Products video suggest you keep the washer on. I'm confused....

Perhaps an official statement from OSP would be beneficial at this point.

Pull the collar all the way off and check the threads.. That washer is working on the threads on some. Not saying all but some.

Just spoke to Jim, he's making updates to the cup. If you haven't already done so, take the washer off, I just checked mine and with 385 miles the threads are destroyed where the washer was.

Thanks for the heads up - just checked mine and sure enough the threads are damaged. Off comes the washer. Let's wait for OSP, I'm sure they will come up with a solution - good people.

They have a very good reputation. Let's give OSP a chance to make it right.

SJ is correct, he is talking about the metal washer that comes with the adjuster. You do not keep that on when riding. It is boucing around and chewing up the threads on the aluminum part. It is only for when you change your belt. I have been out of the office but I heard jim is working on a update.
