Message	Does not mean that the "cons" of the underdrive pulley are NOT a valid theory to be concerned about. The physics involved are sound. If you need it spelled out to you, go do some reading on the Dinan website(s). I have an underdrive pulley on my ZTT, but I took the gamble that I'll be ok. But I'd be naive and stupid to "pretend" the risks do not exist. You guys have no right to claim to others on this forum that the concerns are "hogwash"! : Short Stiff Crank = no fucked bearings. This board (sometimes) is absolutely amazing for the benchracing crap that is floated about. : Just because someone who posts on the board a lot says so it must be gospel. : Proof is in the pudding.. 2.5 years daily driven some pretty long miles and been run at the race track as well as drag strip and I don't have a small size right foot. : She still hasn't let go, going to loose compression/crack a ringlang LOOOOONNGGGG before the big ends grab and let go.
