[RBW] CLEM-mentum

I've noticed a very cool characteristic of my new CLEM: It has this sense of winding up slowly, them momentum takes over and shoots me forward, almost like my Fiat Abarth when the turbo kicks in. I don't know what magic Grant mixed into those tubes and angles, but it rides like a spring
