• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

wheel hop

Another quick question for the Spyder Guru's...
Just picked up another :f_spider:to add to my collection, and I notice that at around 50-60mph range, get what feels like to me, excessive wheel hop, bounce, whatever you want to call it. My first spyder did this, my 2nd (wifes), does not, and now this new one is actualy worse than my first unit at doing it. I run 18psi im the front tires, and have Ride-on in them also.
I had it in for it's first service today, and the dealer mentioned that this seems to be a common issue and will bring in a runout tool to check the wheels next time I am in.

Think its the wheel/s ?
 
I'm going for the wheel or tire. An easy check would be to swap a set off one of your other Spyders to the new one and take it for a ride. If it still bounces, then look into suspension bushings, at the shock ends. If not, then check the tires real good for bad spots or the rims for out of round condition. A few on here have had bad rims.
