I will not hold back any info on my motor.What happens you will know about.But you have to realize that when I spent the money to do it I didnt KNOW for sure how it will work.So if it fails it has to be understood that we have learned by the failure and will move forward not holding anyone responsible as long as we all learn from it.

You all know my goals.I made one year on a stock motor with all the updates.Now I will try to get two.That is a huge improvement since small problems get compounded.Might even be considered reckless.We will see:D

Winky and Ranger. Good posts. I don't want to see this dream die, so ya'll get to work making these machines better!

Winky, can i be in your circle?

Also, do you have any plans to add capacity to meet demand for your crank work?

This is the question on any thing that has an engine.
I'm by far not a mechanic, I Know how to do basic maintenance on the dale. Bought mine in May of 02, How many hrs on her I have no idea.

I've run several MX nationals, and a few GNCC and I've been running a MisSouth Series. This weekend will be the 10th race in this series with each race about 2 hrs. If you add my trail time and practice time, I've probably got over 500 hrs.

So to me the dale has held up very well, of course I've had some troubles, but when you ride hard you have them. Make the repair and get back out there.

If she blows this weekend, I will still be a happy Cannondale owner. :usa :clap:

So just remember, yes we all want to know how long something will last, but actually you will never be able to know for sure. All we can do is gather what information is avaialable and make our own educated conclusions. I feel that there are several people on this site that are really trying to make the dales better. To me that is loyalty, yes they do make money from it, but the service they provide is well worth the investment.

If my motor goes, I will for be contacting Haydug or Big Winky for their help, and will put my 100% trust that they will do the best job on the motor that they can. If she breaks again, it will not be at the error of these guys.

Anyway thats just the opinion of an old man, so everyone can take it for what its worth.

Enjoy your cannondale, and enjoy all the new friend that you have made since owning one.:clap: :clap: :drink:
