segvator and LS

[rotorblades]

does anyone know if a segvator will damage my leansteer when clamping down with the locking arms and bumping the rollers?i really like this segvator-so handy with the dual lifts.has anyone replaced the angled ramps with better largerwider flat lift plateson the dual
lift arms. i have two x2s and it is a tight fit.i am as careful loading as possible but i dont know what is in the ls yet is it a rubbercylinder with the wedges clamped onto it or a sensitive reostat mechanism?

The leansteer tests against a rubber marine roller, I haven't had it damage it ever.
The LSF is very thick aluminium.

i'm mostly worried about the pivoting mechanism not the handle or upright bars

I have 2 segvators and almost 5 years of using them now, and have not experience any issues with the leanstear as a result of the segvator. The only thing I have noticed with the segvator was that I tended at first to raise the segway up too far and the 2 bars on the segvator would consequently depress the floor mats and the foot sensor buttons. The foot sensor buttons started "not releasing" then in cold weather, as I would have them compressed for extended times; I guess it was the rubber grommets on the foot sensor buttons. I have since only raised the segway to where the hold-down bars just touch the foor mat rather than depressing them, and the problem went away.

I have on occassion unitnetionally not put my segway down the middle of the segvator, and the leansteer would slide off to the side of the roller rather than resting in the middle of it. The leansteer would then be held in a position to one side. It has never damaged the segway that I can tell, but I now pay more attention to it and try and insure that the segway is centered on the segvator, so that the leansteer rests squarely in the middle of the roller.
