    Well and fairly done. Old racers rule of thumb - 1lb of rotating weight is equal to 10lbs of gross weight.

    Im a huge cheerleader for airing down and I do anytime I hit the dirt. I was not 100% on what I wanted for OBA but until I decided I needed something and it needed to be portable and fast.
