Dam you all to ......
No not really, all this talk, and this morning my gas pettal is sticking on release.
Whoud be good as a 35 mph cruise, but when its sticking I am going for the brake.
It did free up a bit on my 40 mile commute to work, we'll see how it is on the way home and give everything a cleaning with some WD, followed by some lube.
