Fred,
I am sure you know this, but 1 percent gradient is .57 degrees
and 1 degree is 1.7 percent gradient. Would the smaller movement
on only 1 percent gradient help your situation. I haven't gotten to this
point in building yet so I am interested in finding the problems now
instead of after assembly.
Regards,
John E, still on phase I kit
