Any harm in removing the shaft? I have the blocks out but find it still doesn't transfer the best.

You have the oversized wheels! That put them a lot closer than stock. You'd be fine with stock trihub.

I have the blocks out, but left rod installed. I honestly wouldn't want it to transfer any more than it does now. Lifts the skis 4"-6" at will, and will loft the front end on any small grade on the trail.

Do you guys notice the metal on metal contact with the blocks removed? It would be nice to find something to put on the shaft that is very thin and that will actually stick on there.
