After having driven Frank a couple of mote times after fitting the tramp rods I was still not happy with the vibration when accelerating in the low gears.
After procrastinating for over a year I bought two x 2 degree pinion angle correction wedges, fitted them yesterday and removed the tramp rods :crazy: then Robyn and I took a road trip to Dwellingup, it’s amazing what a difference 2 degrees made, very noticeable difference however I think I’ll get a couple of 3 degree wedges and see if I can really smooth it out.

Our WA club really needs to do a run to Dwellingup, we went to a Cidery called Wine Tree Cidery the owner has old bikes and stuff we had been there before but this time he had a new sign on display

No worries mate can't thank you enough for the lend of them so that I could fault find my issue.
Purchased two 3mm correction wedges yesterday off of Evilbay to finesse the issue a little more.
