[urq] As the Flywheel Turns ...

[Todd Phenneger]

If Steve ends up using the MC-2 flywheel its already lightened from the
Factory.  It weighs about 17lbs from memory compared to 26lbs for the
Factory MC-1 flywheel.  "I could be slightly off on those numbers".

When I took my MC-2 in to get it lightened they were only able to lose about
1-lb as it doesn't have that big outer lip anymore.  But hey, 1-lb is 1-lb.
And I got that removed, the flywheel surfaced for about $70.
