Slight whine on over-run
« on: 20.06. 2018 10:49 »
A slight worry, considering I had the gearbox looked at recently is a not quite whine, more of a hiss on over-run. I've checked and adjusted both chains, as I thought they may be too tight. Thoughts?

ive lost my whine { not wine} on the refurb box and don't get whine on over run just the lovely sound of fluttering reverse cones, it sounds like victory.

With megaphones, you probably wouldn't hear it anyway
