JP or Brian - can you share your findings or opinions on work hardened components vs new?
As noted in my original post, I'm back and forth on which one I'd prefer given a choice and cost not being a factor. Up until recently I would choose a rebuild over new. At some point I read about this subject and my takeaway was a rebuild gave better performance / longevity. The above mentioned reason was stated as part of the justification. The article was probably written by a rebuilder
. A fellow racer shared his methodology with clutches to be factory built for the important races, rebuilds for weekly events, and then sell when it's time for another rebuild.
