    Need Replacement Outrigger Pads, etc.

    I took my 31C to the Spillar hitch shop here in Austin Tx to have 4 more outriggers installed, 2 in the far front and 2 more in the far rear. This way there will never be any sagging of the top shell ends on the existing outriggers which seems to be problematic with the longer HoLo's. I think...

    Aluminum Pulley Replacements

    composite vs aluminum I have read more than one article about the composite pulley's falling apart as they age. I am sure aluminum would not do that and being less though than stainless steel would not have a bad affect on the cables either. I also think that aluminum would stand up longer...

    There are no dumb questions....only dumb answers....however, you are correct Jack, they are neither running lights or reflectors.
