Did it say anything on your receipt? Just wondering. I understand that it is a custon helix but i figured that there might be a number on their receipt.

I believe mine said LW custom3 42-34F/44-34F ER

But there was a middle man.

Some of these helix's should start being a regular part in there listings by now.

Just ask for custom. Don't forget the F to get full progressive. If you ask for the Snowest helix you will get a 46/32 46/34

What exactly would a 46/34-46/32 be other than full progressive.
Are they going to guess on the step length number and not tell you what it is. Donit you need to ask for a 46/32/.4 to get the other?

Mine shows the F.
.46 i guess might be the default. Looking at the listings.

Edit:
Indy Dan has some also


Rogers is sold out of helixes. Said they probably won’t be ordering any more this season

Team is making helixes on Thursday feb 1, so if you want one you need to call and pay for it before then. They won’t do another run for a couple after that. Still sold out of red/grey spring

Anyone willing to sell or trade some lightning weights? I need some 74-77g weights and I have 73's.

So I finally got everything together and got it out for a ride. My previous setup was a 40 46.36 helix with 180-280 secondary, 165-327 primary with vohk r1 weights which I was told were about 70 grams and the stock 19-44 gearing. This new setup definitely back shifts a lot better but it's still a little soft on the bottom and my trackspeed has actually went down from what it was. Before I was getting 44-46 mph and now the best I'm seeing is 38-39? I'm running 68gr lightnings, 150-290, 46-32 with the 140-220 spring and 20-43 gearing on a 163x3. Belt to sheave is .03 and my deflection is tight. How can I get that trackspeed back?

what do you have, what elevation... need more details? rpm before and after. Need a lot more details.

It's in a 17 axys 163x3 with the boondocker sidekick. Elevation is mostly from 6-8k. I've tested for boost leaks and there are no leaks in the system. With my previous setup my peak rpm was 8200-8400 and this setup is turning 8500-8600. My alignment is at .230 at the front of the secondary with the 20-191 bar and I haven't had a chance to change that yet.

Sidekick takes a little different set up, if I remember right. Little different spring set up. you may need to up your weight a little too. BD recommends higher rpm, but seems like the guys I ride with like a lower rpm, around that 8300 rpm range.

Also, you are geared higher. Pro gears work nice... I think the original set up was like a 2.3:1 gear ratio. We have set up sideckicks with stock gears though and been very successful. Don't know if I have dealt with a 163, 3" though. It is going to make some difference.

Would the 140-200 secondary make my trackspeed go up some by making it up shift faster? I did the recommended gearing from this thread which is higher than the stock gearing for the chaincase model. I should be around 2.33 right now and stock is 2.52 right? I figured my trackspeed would go up quite a bit doing this entire setup especially with the higher gearing. I would like to get a set of 70gr lightnings but tcp only had 68.5gr left and I couldn't find them anywhere else.

Also, I know my speedo is off now after the gearing change, how would I calculate what it really is as I'm not sure which number to use for the calculation? Thank you
