XP pin weight necessary for West Yellowstone

[slim2002@sasktel.net]

Hey

Group of flatlanders heading to West Yelly on the 5th.
I have a xpx 146 geared 21/45 160/290 primary spring and 18.2 grams pin weight. Can anyone tell me if this is okay for the elevation there or do I need to lose some pin weight ?? Any advice is appreciated on best set up.

Thanks in advance

Cant wait to get there I see you all getting a pile of fresh.

with that gearing and spring I'd say somewhere between 14 and 16 grams and you'll be OK, you won't pull 18 grams at 7-10k unless the primary is slipping a lot.

Thanks for the reply. What belt are you running, and how is it holding up. What clicker do you reckon I would be running on with 16 grams pin weight.

I have a 163" with 20/49 gearing, running 16.6 grams and stock 160/320 primary. Clicker 1 to 7k, Before the weight, I took out a 166 belt with 120 miles. New 166 has lasted 200 miles and cords still look good, belt is slightly burned though from playing with ramps. Waiting for new 377 belt and am going to try 160-350 spring next time out, waiting for most covetted Helix on the planet to be available also....
