Powertrax No-Slip Traction System Install

[cloaked_chaos]

I finally got around to installing the locker I bought from kert0307 back in December. I wanted to document the entire process but it was difficult because the only camera I have is my phone, and it was a lot of extra work cleaning my hands every time I wanted to take a picture.

The install is pretty straightforward and is covered in detail in the install manual provided by Richmond Gear (manufacturer of Powertrax)

Now I just need to buy a set of tires and I am ready to hit the trails.

Excellent work.

As for keeping your hands clean, buy a box of nitrile gloves. they are cheap @ harbor freight, and not too expensive else where. If you don't get holes in them, you can turn them inside out when you take them off and let the sweat dry, then use them again later until the puncture.

Forgot to mention earlier: I updated the post with images of the installation manual. Everything should be pretty much in order.

NIce write up -- I just installed them in front and rear-- Only problem I had was the bolt that holds the cross pin in, it sheared off. They make a tool to drill it out and not screw up the threads.

Love the Powertrax!
