drill or sand down 2 grams from weights?

is there a good reason not to drill the weight out instead of sanding, seems like drilling could be more precise

06 m7 75's down to 73's

thanks

I have done it but just used a bench grinder. Make sure you use a gram scale so that all the weights are the same.

I would grind from the sides of the weights instead of the top so you don't wear out the rollers prematurely

could you maybe use a heavier spring and keep the weights, just curious, the 7 likes more weight. I am running 77gr up to 5500 feet.

I just put them in a vice and use an angle grinder to take a bit at a time off both sides of the weight. Takes me about 1/2 hour to do a set; but I put them on the scale alot to make sure I don't over shoot the weight I'm trying to get to.:beer;

Always take it off the sides of the weights no wear ells. Just narrow them up.

unless you want to change the shift or alter the engagement

ended up using a bench grinder

i ended up sanding .5 gram of off the back of each then .75 of of each side to get the 75's down to 73's. i used a digital gram scale and a bench grinder and pressed the weight's against the flat side of a very fine grinder wheel and did the same process to each weight. just got done riding and every thing felt great.

what kind of secondary set up do u use for 77's and is your sleds motor very stock?

thanks
