Have been running a McLeod HTO for about four years. Davids comments about making sure you run only DOT 3 in it must be heeded, as well as the need to properly set up the initial clearance between the bearing ring and the clutch PP fingers.
No complaints with McLeod other than when I sent my Gen 1 unit in to be fitted with the new elbow fittings, I found that when it came back one of the new fittings appeared bent and swiveled quite loosely in comparison to the other. Not trusting it, I called McLeod and asked McLeod to send me another, which I would install. McLeod sent me a replacement, and billed me $75.00 for
it!
And remember, they send you the spare o-rings and quad-rings for a reason..
