| Tekton Double Impacts @charles1dad It would seem similar to the issues when doing push pull in that one tube will either be pushing or pulling harder than the other. One way to avoid this is using matched tubes, or to have a variable bias for each tube (instead of a b... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @sbayne - Thank you for that, it's much appreciated. | |
