I now use a mega jul for raps.

Aha! I haven't read it all but sounds like a case where it melted through and slowed down the rap.

But I still think its a bad idea to error on the side of it not working properly a la: "Well, it seems a little loose in this config but at least it might slow me down." Better to error on the other side else total failure is not far away.
