    Got the old skool rat trap on it I see.

    Just looking at mine, going to have to swing by the shop and bleed my front brake and pump up the tires before I head out and ride this weekend. I've got my fork and rear shock aired up good and I straightened the rear derailleur hanger last week. Amazing how easily those get tweaked and how badly even a slight misalignment of the hanger just ruins the shifting.

    I'm guessing this happened unloading. Regardless , hope the operator was wearing brown pants.

    Unfortunately, the company doesn't let you run with loose leaf, otherwise I would. When I did with the O/O with the bouncing checks :biggrin_2552:, my original looked like the chicken scratch, but the official one was all neat and tidy...then I realized, that might be a tell in itself, so I left little scratch corrects to cover it.

    You're going to need to go from each handle bar down to the e-track also. Like motorcycles, you need to stop that side to side movement also, especially with the vacumn behind the cab from the wind break...it will most likely pull toward the trailer, but best to have it anchored on both handlebar sides.

    Okay....I am starting to wonder, is this like a big thing for the older ladies and gents on here? Seems like I'm the only one who doesn't know about this stuff! Or is it like a Southern thing??

    Volvo calls it I-shift, I don't know what Mack calls it.
    It is the electronic controlled automatically shifted gearbox transmission with computer controlled clutch and can be held in any gear and can be manually shifted by pushing a button.
    It has 12 forward gears and in my opinion is the smoothest "auto" transmission out there today.
