Counter-Steering Pendulum...plz help

Are you standing up? You gotta let the pendulms swing properly!

Like turbolover said, get you a good set of steel pendulms and keep em warm!

helps to polish em on a fine beaver pelt the night before a ride too, don't want em to get stained blue.

I have both a 95 & 99 Summit. I'm concerned that fine beaver pelts will be of no use for these old pendulums. Wondering if anyone has had any luck with old beaver pelts?
 
Keep swinging the pendulum, everything explains itself in the end

I got a set of big ole brass cough cough pedulums Ill sell ya cheap, I married 20 yrs and it seems I dont need em anymore:mad:
 
First, verify your pendulum doesn't swing the wrong way. That's likely your problem.
 
Make sure you have your pendulum mounted to the correct hole. Stand behind your sled and check to see if your in the bottom hole. This is the one that is self lubricating and has the least amount of resistance. If your mounted in the top hole your going to need to add some grease to get your pendulum to operate correctly.
 
What ever you might have read, porting the pendulum does not work

You have to port the pendulum pivot. Without a pivot, no pendulum porting is possable

dam, that must be my problem, i havent had my pendelum polished for quite some time:(. that must be why my sleddin skills have been lacking.
beaver pelt is really the only way to get it running right.

i used to be terrible at sledding. but, with enough beaver pelt polishing Im almost as good as chris burandt.
 
I don't know, man... I tried 3 different beaver pelts this month, I don't think it helped. Pendulum still sways the same each time. Maybe it needs a little more polishing before pelting...

man i gotta get me some new beaver huntin techniques cuz the ones im usin now shore aint workin and i want to be at my best sleddin capability this winter. also upon months and months of testing, the manual polishing does not apear to have the same effect to pendulum swing as a good quality beaver pelt polish.

Technique tip :
Find a pelt that doesn't know the difference between a burrito and a pendulum...

I'm with ya had mine in the wrong hole and hyper-extened my shock, spendy repair.
 
Old pelts are much easier to find - is it possible to recondition older pelts with some sort of pelt conditioner to restore their former usefulness?
