Flywheel Weight Cut?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Arigato,
  Thinner would be much better and easier but unfortunately there is not much meat there.  Don, the setscrews are oriented radially aroung the outside lip.  They are there to help keep the flywheel from spinning so there is definately some risk to it doing that it you remove them.  Only a test will tell for sure.  I think it will be ok (but me the big chicken will wait until Alan mods his). Actually I need to ride mine first to see if I like it full flywheel or need to go flywheel-lite. Cam.

This is very difficult to chose what metod you should use. :|

Both ways are okay for me,thin it,not so much weight,but safer.
Reduce outer limit,take away more weight,loose 4 screw,but I think it will
stay in place anyway without them.
Just torque it "little" harder and use looking glue at nut. :wink:

Thanks, Good ideas guys! I was mainly worried about it coming loose and I think I figured out how to solve it!
I have to leave the 1/4 20 holes to torque it down. So I after I torque it, I will put some hi quality sets in to the holes to lock it from the top, with loctite of course.........

demographic:
Have you spoken to Steahly about this?

I know they offer a service where they can turn down their standard weights if you ask them about it, thats what the literature they sent to me said anyway.

That was going to be my suggestion, drill and tap in the face to lock. I think, no matter how good locktite you use, it would still come loose without sets, I may be wrong, but I don't think so, and of course it will happen at the most in-appropriate time.

good luck
