Nope, it really was 40 lbs. Ernie, shoot a PM over to Rick Lake and ask him to recount his story of originally starting out with a 40 lb. flywheel, how the stored energy would bust the tires loose all the time, and then when he changed to an aluminum flywheel his acceleration times increased and he had less wheelspin. Personally, I love my aluminum flywheel.
