1st, verify the spring settings. When you set the cam (helix) in place you need to twist the moveable sheave CCW about a 1/4 turn. If you look at the angled ramps of the cam they are not in line with the shoes as dropped in. I read on another forum that there are holes above the shoes for reference and it`s true. I just did mine Fri. (for the zillionth time this season&#33

. You really should check the preload instead of refering to the letter/number. A fish scale, welders clamp,and a piece of vinyl to protect the face of the pulley are all you need. Check the tension with the scale right at the outer diameter of the moveable. Pull pressure + release pressure then divide by 2. Good luck, hope this helps.
