Ty rigging adjustments

Post by Ken Price »

My high tech nephew has offered to use his high tech tension guage to adjust the rigging on my 75 Ty weekender #868. Any ideas on settings.

Don't bother with anything fancy. Your Ty is not a racing machine. You just want to keep the mast up and straight. The less tension you can to this with the better, IMHO.
