Latest positions. Conditions - totally groomed trails, 10-15 F. Rider weight 205 fully dressed. Approx 500 mi on skid before adjustments. Increased preload to 4. Felt much better than 1 or 2, although not fully revealing because of the excellent conditions. Very fun to ride at positions 2 and 4 with predictable ski lift. Because of the perfect conditions, moved to position 5 "more skis" Less lift and more stable at higher speeds. At this setting, the sled has never handled so well. It carved better than I thought this sled was capable of.
After moving to position 5 on the revolver it seemed to lower the front end a bit, making the a arms totally parallel to the ground now versus being slightly raised on #4. I am totally happy with this position, but would still like to see a little slower rebound as others have mentioned. Other than that, I now have a brand new sled that I totally enjoy and can actually go in reverse without sucking a flap. One tip though from my experience - to facilitate changing revolver positions I found it easiest to back up onto a small log. This helped immensely and avoided me breaking another metal retainer ring on the revolver! Good luck and will report back on crappy trail conditions.
