What track do you have?

[marpolsdofer]

Maybe its a combination of the 136 and having no groomed trails so he might be breaking trails a lot more then the rest of us. I think with the combination of riding powder all the time and the extra drag could bring it down.

That was my thought, with this track I am out front alot, in 50 miles of riding we will be back on our own track only for about 30% of the time. I really checked closely for the last 5 tanks. Nearly exact each time. We have a short winter, but get lots of snow that is not real light.

Still the best move I made installing the track. Going to do the clutch cleanup this summer to see if it helps at all. I have been through it once (Ulmer kit) but not to the extent of polish that Cannondale posted.

For clutch clean up on the helix I just wire brush on the grinder, then used fine sandpaper to smooth it out, use a buffer. I use to use car polish from mothers but I stooped because after each race the polish would cause the belt shavings o stick to the helix badly. Since I stooped with the polish I never had to clean it again. I just added a little bit of it to the buttons. I did this to the outside and angles of the helix, as well as the ring where the outside of the helix sits.

Do you wet sand or sand it dry?

I only did it the initial time since the stuff was stuck on there and after if I had that problem again.
I used 320 dry then 500 wet. Any further cleans was just dont buy wire brush on the grinder(very flexible wire usually breaks off).

13.5" x 1.7" x 128 w/ MPI extensions and 8" slydog wheels. great off trail / traction

OK I went to buy my track last night, and a buddy offered up his track that came off his SkiDoo Summit 136" with 1 3/4" paddle. The price is obviously right, but is the track wrong.

Any guys try this one.

If you ride off trail a 1 3/4 would be good. You just have to cut it down to the 14" wide.

Not sure if you will need doo drivers?

I think there's a 2.52 pitch on the Doo track, same as the Phazer. What year is it?

 

[Totalrecall]

Came off a 2001, part # says its a 2.52 pitch, i just wasnt sure if the 1 3/4" is way too much for both the sled, and the type of riding i do.
I mostly ride trails, but with this track i thought i might be able to get away without studs.

For mostly trails I would think its too much. If it is a really good price then you could also cut down the lugs. I have seen this done by other on here.

Price is Free

CHOP IT!!!
Cut her down to a 14" with 1.5' lugs you'll be happy!!

I would go for it. I think 1 3/4 is a bit too much for mostly trail riding because bigger lugs will not help on the icy trails. I think cut down to 1.5 and studs would give you all the traction you would need.

If I was you I would cut it down to 1.5 and if you want more traction add studs not lugs.

You got yourself a great deal on that track!
