Gary, despite my praise for the Mychron, I am also still curious what is needed to run one of the equine systems wirelessly. What else did you have to buy, and how much did it cost?

First put thin lube on the thread area to loosen it up. Then get a reverse drill bit and drill into the center of the bolt. The drill bit will most likely catch and start to back the bolt out.

I like to think of it as "Ghetto Fabulous". I don't actually see the tail when I am riding so it doesn't matter to me how it looks.

Sam,

I backed off to a 15 degree wedge this weekend and they turn much better. More linear and I don't feel like I am pushing it through the corner as much. I'm going to try a 10 degree wedge in a couple of days and see what it is like. Thanks for the advice.
