I have my MP on wheels. The front dollies are right under the spindles and roll very easily on the concrete. I noticed that the steering is very heavy. I know if I jack the front end up and have the skis dangling the steering is feather light. I took a close look and I think the suspension geometries are such that turning the bars actually lifts the front end. No wonder the steering is relatively heavy.
Is this inherent to A-arm setups or is the MP design poorly resolved in this aspect? On the plus side the steering wants to center on its own since that is down hill so to speak. For a 95% lake guy this may be a plus over all.
ps. I thought it was a nice touch to say 'poorly resolved in this aspect' rather than 'sucks'.

I haven't noticed anything like that on mine. When it's sitting on asphalt or concrete on the carbides, it's relatively easy. A little resistance but nothing too bad.
