    Custom/Hybrid Help Please!! - Need Rickter hull weight Info for dispute

    I think freightquote.com bids the job out to a network of different shippers. That's probably why you are seeing differing costs.

    Emergency lowering of water level leads to standup find

    It was found at least 20 miles upriver from the dam in question. Like mydixiewrecked says, it was very close to a popular campground. I've ridden there in 2010 or 2011. Some other stuff is starting to surface...

    MSD Enhancer Cracked... MSD won't stand behind

    Look at you, getting all upset over a five year old product not getting covered by warranty and getting publicly pissed about it.

    Emergency lowering of water level leads to standup find

    Registration is said to be from 2010. You can buy them ahead of time, but I've never known standup owners to be that proactive about it. So my guess is that it went down in Summer 2009 or, far more likely, Summer 2010

    Emergency lowering of water level leads to standup find

    A large hydroelectric dam on the Columbia River has recently been discovered to have a serious crack in one of the spillway monoliths - 2 inches wide, 65 feet long, causing visible bowing of the dam at the very top...

    I don't think it is common. Like I said, I've shipped across the country twice for approximately $300 each time, with similar weights to what you posted, since late 2012. I think you're getting f'd on that shipping price, but it's hardly the shippers fault. To get accurate quotes, you need to...

    The pricing structure doesn't have to be linear. Try shipping 1lb via USPS. Now ship 100lbs and see if the price is exactly 100x the first price. Who is at fault? Well - Honestly, whoever estimated that a hull, let alone a Rickter, has a 150lbs shipping weight was flat out wrong. But, if...

    You realize what happens when you over-generalize, right?

    1. A properly crated hull, even a lightweight one - and a Rickter is definitely not in that category - will tip the scales at 300lbs. I've shipped a carbon Freak and a carbon FR and both crates weighed about 300lbs. 2. The shipping company can and will adjust scale weight to take crate...

    You say that like it's a good thing.

    Other Synthetic oil engine break in ?

    Done it, breaks in just fine with synthetic. Rings do seat, compression goes up slightly after a couple of hours. In my case, there was no discernible difference between break-in with mineral vs synthetic oil (Amsoil Dominator)

    Does this seem right (compression)

    Oil in the bore isn't going to make 35 cc domes blow 210 psi, unless you have an ounce of it sloshing on the crown. Either the domes are smaller than 35cc or the gauge is poop.

    It is on the list. Has been for a while. TheJet: Like I said, Seattle/Portland area. Make it to some rides. You can't expect all those hulls directly in your backyard, available to you with zero effort
