Have you tried more yet? Im liking more weight with less helix for my altitude. Temps go down, speed goes up.
Ran out of good snow for testing but Ill be putting in a 46/42.
M858 clutch kits?

So this is going to be a long post. I'm hoping you guys can help me learn a little more on this clutching business. I know there's lots of ways to get almost the same results. I'm open to any advice you guys are willing to give me.
858 154 3 inch. I didn't even ride the factory clutching based on what I've heard. I bought a setup from BDX and it seems pretty good but I'd like the clutch to engage a bit lower than 4000 rpm. When loading and unloading, as well as when trying to pass slowly and nicely when you meet xcountry skiers/hikers 4000 just seems a bit fast. Seems to chatter a bit (engaging/disengaging) when I try to travel at that speed. My only riding so far is the Black Hills at 6-7k feet. I saw 8250 rpm and it seemed to have more left but I didn't want to push it anymore which makes sense for the lower elevation. I normally ride 9-10k or a bit more (Snowies/Bighorns/Steamboat). I do have a Jaws trail can, and right or wrong the ring behind the primary may be in my toolbox. Heres the setup.
Magnetic weights 60 gram base with 4 magnets. 1.3 grams each so 65.2 grams. Distribution from the heel of 2-1-1-0.
125-290 Primary Spring
190-260 Secondary Spring
Helix is a 7TM-52/40.20
Thanks.
