Track sheets

Club astroHigh grip, evenings

⚠ Grip drops after 9pm: rear spring one softer.

Indoor carpetVery high grip

⚠ Slipper looser than astro; clean bearings after.

How I tune

One change at a time, three runs each.

Write it down before touching the next thing. The sheet is only as good as the notes behind it.
