Anyone run 10-56's on a D8?

I cannot find weights that will hold rpms at 11-12K ft in pow on climbs. I was thinking of trying 10-56's but am afraid they will not hold. Has anyone that rides at this elevation tried 10-56 weights or another type of weight with success? The most I can currently get out of both my custom weights and the stock 10-58 weights at 11-12K in pow climbs is 7700rpms even though on flats it will still run to 8K + rpms. My belt deflection is good and side clearance is good as well...

Can anyone help me out here on a better clutching setup for my elevation?

I was going to put those in my assault at that elevation but dealer said it would be to light. They changed my secendary spring it seemed to help but realy made the back shift funny. Only thing is I cant remember what the put in it???

46 and not 36 huh? Yeah sounds like the helix is the next step for me. Thanks for the heads up! I'll probably order one of those up here this week... :beer;

I wish clutching the Dragon was the same as clutching my edge then I'd have no problems...

I'll tell ya.....I did tons of clutching on the Egde RMK's and trying the same things on the Dragon 800 showed some good gains over stock.
The difference is the CFI can't pull as much weight :eek:
You could go with the .36 or .46, more of a personal preference really, either will be in the 38 on a hill.

Well, need to test some stuff out first. You ever check what weights you have in your Dragon?
