There = have been countless discussions in the past regarding Legacy rudder = stiffness, most dealing with how to reduce friction between the cable = and and tube. As I put my adjustable pedals together I wonder if = the included springs may also contribute to excess stiffness. They = seem stiffer than necessary.
