Remove track clips?

Any one remove every other track clip? my track is stiff and i'm looking for ways to help it turn easier...

Not worth it -- you may end up with overheating the sliders on trail ins -- it increases friction.

Fair enough. Thanks. With the kit off the bike and pulling it across the garage floor, the track barely rolls. It mostly skids. I can roll it by hand but I would think it would roll easier than my sled because it is smaller. Instead, it has about the same resistance. Is this normal? I am low enough on power as it is. Lol.

The track may be too tight. Run as loose as you can without ratcheting.

If it's a new kit it's gonna be tight until you ride it. The track will stretch a good bit. I won't adjust mine until I have 2-3 rides on it.

Thanks. I have about 10 rides on it. I took of the brake piston assembly and it helped. its rusty from the summer rest. I loosened the track off and that helped a lot. Waiting on snow...
