Did anyone use a downrod of 36 inches or more. If so, is there much wobble at any speed?

l have two fans on 24 inch down rod with no wobble in exterior covered patio. fan is a good product with excellent exterior finish. i do not think you will have wobble using longer down rod. i am happy with my two fans after one year of use.

I did not use a long down rod, just what came in the box. I will say that the fans were balanced pretty well right out of the box.

If we were talking flat to full, 35's might be pushing it. However, if all you're doing is dropping and adding a few pounds for terrain, like you say, I'd be pretty confident it could handle it. I've done 0 to full on a 31 in just a few minutes, so it's got some guts. Just don't run it continuously for more than 10 minutes.

You shouldn't need that much force. I am a 60 yr. old woman and can't left over 35 lbs. I didn't have any problems. The only thing I can suggest is trying to reverse which wheel you put on the end of the shaft. If all else fails reread the directions. I know sometimes I miss something.

Of course you'll lose a tiny bit of ground clearance, but I have an Ultra that isn't lowered and haven't had any problems cornering or going over speed bumps. They make a model thats made for lowered bikes, but I don't know the difference.

I used mine for a 14" john boat with mud motor all my gear loaded in it. No problems. 75mph for 2 hours to my hunting spot.

Don't understand your question about the different lengths? Unless you mean the 14" to 17" it talks about. If you do this is the different heights off the bed of the truck that you can raise or lower it to. I don't recommend using a short wheelbase truck to pull a 36 foot fifth wheel!!

It depends if the downrod included is long enough. Check in description of the product, they say 4''.

You could go down as far as you wished (I just tried a piece of 3/4 stock). However, the lower you go, the more the clamp will hang out over/past the material, which will create its own problem. This 50"clamp probably works best in the 3 to 4 foot range, but you could go smaller/shorter if you had something to hold up the end that is hanging out past the material. Smaller than 3', would suggest the 36" or 24" size, depending on your needs.

I have not experienced any of the wobble. I do not regret buying ... Straight, and easy cuts, quickly.

I have a 20 size Trio on one of my ultralight rods. I find it a bit heavy for such a light rod, but manageable. I have a 20 size Avenger on the other and it's better balanced. I still prefer the trio due to it's super smooth drag.

I've only had mine for one season but mines solid as a rock and definitely handles 4 ft drops. Like everyone else is saying you probably wanna get a bigger free ride fork if your gunna be doing big stuff all the time but i havn't bottomed mine out yet riding all around colorado. Though i use ALL of the travel since its only 100mm. I weigh 170 and pumped mine up passed my weight since i like em stiff ;)

I'm 240 lbs and 6'3" .. It'll handle 300 with no problem. In fact. I think it could go as high as 450 lbs with no problems. Maybe even more. That would be like 2 large people, if one desires tandum paddling. It's 8" thick and sits very high on the water for me. In the spec's, it seems it was rated at around 800 lbs. (?)

I have two of these, one I installed with a down rod and the other I did not. So far I have not had any issues w/ either of them but I understand the air flow might be better if you install the down rod.

Mine didn't wobble at all. I got a hitch put on my civic at uhaul. It was such a tight fit I had to scrap the paint off to get it to fit in.

This is what I want to know as well. Our ceiling slants so need to know if the included 6" rod will be enough to allow for clearance. If I need an additional downrod can someone post a link? Are downrods universal or must I buy a specific one for thin Minka Aire F1000 model? Thanks.

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

Lowers about 1 inch. I had spoke to Progressive Suspension and said to keep stock height with stock wheel, but I went to a 23" wheel. Also good for a 21" wheel.
