Yes they do! No other way to do it at this point in time, however they use all NEW parts and upgrade spindle/shaft size and and bearings in most cases.

That's the Columbia Gorge in one of the less-than-spectacular sections. When you get ready to preload the Buck$Zooka, go online with their website, and focus on the spindle tooth count. The have very clear illustrations on how to tell the difference. Also... look into a group buy. We have those once or twice per year, and we are overdue - you may find 30 or more others wanting to hop on for a discount.

I was a little delayed with my actions last year because of a devastating fire in my region at the time, and the fine folks at Redhead worked with me.

If you attempt to do a group buy, please add me to the list (please PM me if possible). My steering is like the first video Tugly posted.

Thank you...

You will feel the wheel "binding" and not wanting to return to straight on its own. Then I would back it off 1/8 turn.
