---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I agree with everything you have received by way of response so far from Don= =20 and others. What I would like to add is this: Bill Spurlock does a=20 demonstration in which he puts a piece of bicycle innertube rubber between t= he=20 capstan and the wip heel. On an action with ideal geometry, it added no me= asurable=20 friction (!!!). Where sliding friction is present (as opposed to the=20 rolling action achieved with correct geometry), it is greatly exasperated by= =20 non-polished capstans, dimpled wippen bottoms and the like.
