Hey all!

I was just wondering about people's opinion of the Olson/Shires/Edwards axials and how well they function. I know with the Bach 50AF3, it seems like a common thing to do is to have a tech take the valve apart and adjust a few things.

Let me know your thoughts!

Best valves available right now, IMO... if they are set up right.

Talking about the Olsens, right?

By set up right, do you mean entire valve section put together (including the wrap), or just the valves themselves?

The valves themselves, though of course a nice wrap is a good thing too.
