As previously reported, received a Shimpo Whisper for Christmas.
Set it up couple days later - very quiet - but wheel head didn't revolve!
Contacted Shimpo, had tech on phone with me right away.
A small adjustment to gears in foot pedal resolved the problem.
Well, yippee, finally had some time to myself this afternoon.
Sat at the wheel and threw a couple dozen cups.
New wheel, new cup shape that I've had in my head for a while.
Reporting the wheel being VERY quiet. No buzz, no sound!
Wheel responded very well to changes in pedal position.
No stuttering.
Top speed seems to be slightly slower than the Pacifica Glyde-Torc
Kit that I built and have been using since 1978. This wheel will find a home
with one of my students.
So far, very pleased.
