I would think it's just as likely the engine oil would seep into tranny with a cartridge plate seal issue. The oil level is probably about the same between the 2 when not running. I'm trying to think of where the trans oil is pressurized that could leak into the engine side. Not having much ...

My take on the "case saver" is that it needs to be wider than the chain and the top section really should be larger to block the chain wrap inherent to the failure. That upper chain roller has probably been the key to reducing cracked cannondale cases as it will stop the chain from whippin...

Yeah, I'd have to say that was overall the highlight of Cannondale's success stories. I can't think of any win that was bigger.<br /><br />I saw the quad as well down in Palatka when I bought my first 'dale from Marcum's. One thing I never heard- who were the riders? The story do...

I think they signed on as Sponsors about 2-1/2 years ago after the Fall ride when they showed their parts. I haven't seen either of them around in a while. Mydreamride and JoeP are their screen names. You might be able to PM them which might send them an e-mail if you're wanting to see if th...
