2016 Axys 155"x2.6" belt drive
The last 2 rides I've noticed what feels like a rubbing/vibration coming from the front track area.
The first time I felt it, I stopped and checked everything out and couldn't find anything out of place. Then on the trail ride out I didn't notice it anymore, so I figured it must've been from ice buildup in the tunnel.
When the sled thawed out, I checked everything out and nothing is bent/broken. The track seemed pretty loose so I tightened it a bit. I didn't have a spring scale so I guessed the best I could by looking at YouTube videos and internet photos.
This weekend when riding, I noticed the vibration right away, in the parking lot unloading the sled, and it did it all day if I was on the trail. I brought tools with me and played around with tension a bit and nothing changed it at all. Alignment looked good every time I stopped.
I only noticed two things that seemed to indicate a track-related issue: Hyfax are pretty worn down right under the ice scratchers, and the plastic rail caps are pretty worn down as well.
Has anyone experienced this issue that has been able to figure out what the fix is? I saw a few old threads saying the front edge of the hyfax catches the track windows, but I never saw a solution to that problem.
