Anyone adjust cart set up due to ambient temperature changes?


My cart body was dragging slightly, so I contacted the manufacture. It is 2 years old.

I got a response within a few hours, and they asked if ambient temperature had increased by more than 4-5 degrees recently.

It has - where I live usual summer weather is a bit late, and the max temp in the house has increased by about 8 degrees. (we try to avoid using aircon).

They recommended decreasing normal down force from 1.9g, to 1.7 or 1.5 (min), and increasing VTA slightly.

-0.2g & + 2mm VTA solved the issue. Back in business sounding great.

It was new news to me and I avoided an overseas evaluation and possible repair.

Anyone else adjust due to temperature changes?

Could you tell which did the most good, changing VTF or raising the pivot? Any way , I don’t know what your baseline ambient temperature is, but an increase of 8 degrees F in our house would drive me away.
