Dumped the rack
You did the right thing. Racks are bad Gnus. 🐂 🐂 🐂 By and large racks exaggerate (amplify) the effect of vibration, that’s why modern buildings are constructed to prevent minor earthquakes from being amplified by the building structure. The one-mi... 
Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement
Lol! You’ll take a stab at it. An obvious case of plagiarism. I think I know my own words. 🤗 
What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?

kqvkq I do have to offer my compliments to the original poster for a fun idea, it was inevitable that the thread would descend into argument. Why? Well, speaking as someone who has been involved in the hobby for over 40 years, I’ve watched the lun...
