carbontex drag washers

Hi Guys

I am sick of my Stradic having a lumpy/pulsating drag.  I have greased the washer's ect but it is just a crappy drag. The next thing i am going to try is carbontex drag washers. Can anyone reccommend a certain brand, there seems to be a lot online and the price's vary quite a lot for the same components.

Thanks

(was) working offshore

so I had limited intraweb access (busy working), but there is a dirty big cyclone gonna smash the rig, so I have been flown up and put up in Darwin for an indefinite period.

 

No work, full pay and a $100/day meal allowance, plus a $20/day perdiem payment. Aside from the wind and rain, Darwin is not too bad! Pity there aren't many backpackers around in the wet.....

Carbontex!

You need to use the correct drag washer lube on the original washers to get the best out of them.

As for carbontex, Jacks the man, we get out Carbontex through him but he's away at the mo.
