S3 Weight

Thought I would post the listing for the flywheel weight. I am still a believer. Wouldn't trade that weight out.

I rode with the intention of staying smooth and to notice how the weight affected the bike. I could notice it coming out of the corners the most. I could feel it everywhere else as well.

I don't know what the case was the other night, but I had the best/fastest ride of my life last week with it on. I would imagine it was a combination of the focus on riding smooth, but the flywheel weight really seemed to make it hook up and allow for that smooth riding. By best ride, I was able to keep my riding partner in sight for 4 laps, usually I am getting lapped at 4-5 laps on my 8 minute course.

Here is a video of my little brother riding the course that I rode while testing the flywheel weight. YouTube Video Keep in mind the conditions of this ride was 90% good traction 10% icy dirt, and you will see where that happened!
