[maim]

went to check my exup adj today like i do every year and it needed setting. ok. pulled up mrsled video on how to adjust and on the 1st cycle, top one broke. bottom one broke 20 min later when i was trying to figure out how to lock down the valve. trying to have my sled rdy to go to ty ride next week. anyone in ontario have some they are willing to part with?

I have some but too far away. Wire the valve open and let her rip!

Thanks to mother nature and the cancelling of the TY ride, at least now you have some time for the cables to come.

Along those lines Cameron, how often do you find yourself needing to adjust your cables? I have close to 10,000mi on mine and only had to use @MrSled very detailed video once. Ever since then, when I check them each year, everything is still in alignment.

i adjusted it once after 1st season of riding. i check the adjustment every season. it was out almost 1/2 the hole when i went to adjust it at time of failure. sled has 6500 mi on it atm.

making me paranoid on the 11 now lol. it was still in adjustment perfectly when i got it done back around the beginning of december and it has been roughly that many mi since i did them on it but i might have oiled them more than the 16. god old timers sucks. both had visibly failed on it when i tore it apart to check it. this one looked fine until the servo moved and it popped the cable. servo was acting up a bit too as it took over 3 tries to get it to cycle in diagnostics.

Good point regarding oiling the cables, or at least the cable ends that connect to the servo bracket, as I started doing that using high-temp CRC Nickel Anti-Seize on them from day one. Thought it would help with preventing the cable ends to fray as I thought that might be a contributing factor to the cables snapping.

As for old timers, you're preaching to the choir brother!

The paper brain is legit, if I don’t write something down these days there’s a very low probability I’m going to remember it later.
