Dear Albert Hofman
Those upgrades do look awesome. But is it an upgrade or just a downgrade of the unchanged parts? Does the new head stay on the centre hub or does the hub need a change to, etc, etc.
If a head stiffener works for you, just experiment with it and learn from every hand made change. I have seen beautifull stiffeners made by creative people. The fun is when things work out it gives positive energy. As you finally found a way to fix your problem sounds like a pos energy creator. Making it better looking or better functioning will give you more positive fibes.
I asume that buying 1 upgrade will lead to the next, and the next....
I am pleased with the stiffener although it looks ugly. And when I have the change to make a nice metal/alu one, I will.
