Hey folks,
Was out at Lodgepole on Monday - noticed a track tic'n sound when I whip a shitty. I've got about a 1 1/4" track sag when I push down on the track fairly hard.

It's a 09 M8 - c/w extrovert drivers.
The snow was really wet and heavy that day.
It doesn't feel like the track is ratcheting - maybe it's cuz there is only 2 wheels at the back (vs the old 4 wheels) ?

Any ideas?
You can hear the sound I'm talking about at the 2 second mark and the 7-8 second mark of this video.

thanks for any help.

"Black Diamond has developed an Anti-Stab Roller Kit for the M-Series sleds. It is designed to help prevent the rail tips from stabbing through the 3” pitch track windows. It also eliminates the vibration produced when the rail tips click on the windows. This vibration is felt in the foot-wells while operating in loose snow conditions. The Anti-Stab Roller Kit is a must for the rider who runs with loose track"

My 09 M8 had a tick as well, mine was the hyfax at the end of the rear section of the skid, it was cut square.I tappered it so when the track went around it did not touch the clips on the track. The new ones are now tappered.:d
