·Hey guys,
I just finished my conversion of a 136 x 1.375 to a 144 x 2" track. The snow is melting petty fast out here so I don't have many days riding left. I rode about 50 miles today with the new track. It works great. I lost about 5 mph top end but other than that it works flawlessly.
I rode with a guy riding a 670 Summit 136 x 1.5 Guess who high marked who? All day. He kept asking me what I was riding. I told him a 550 fan "look at the hood". He thought I had put a 550 hood on a 700 or an 800. I wish I had a camera to capture the look on his face when I finally opened the hood for him.
I also ride a 700 with a 151 X 2 and by no means would this 550 come close to the performance of a 700 or and 800, but I would put it up against any factory fanner and even some 600's with a 136"
Any how, I had a grand time trading tracks and stuff. I have a set of side hiller 2 skis coming for it now but I don't think the snow is going to last long enough for me to try them out this season. Winter is just to short.
