5 of 5 weights Friday, December 31, 2021
taco eater : Matt of Rabies from Winnipeg, MB Canada  
If anyone else was wondering what weight of weights this comes with, black are 2.5g each, yellow are 3.3g each, and blue are 3.5g each... The weights seem cheaply made, but they will be totally fibe wih some sanding and cleaning up around the edges..  variator itself seems well made, but seems to already have some corrosion on the belt ramp surface... shouldnt be a big deal.. it all fits together fine.. will update if it explodes right away lolz.

5 of 5 An Old Sea Captains Tale of Toil and Trouble Monday, September 18, 2017
taco eater : Andy from The High Seas of Lake Michigan  
Yes who use the firm and supple grey spring in their hobbits beware, for knock on me wooden leg the user has been warned.

the elusive red and yellow contra spring fish twirl in the way of a clock, tick tock tick tock. set ye masts and hobbits shall blast.

ye supplied beauty grey beard spring spins in the way of a knot clock. use in a hobbit and expandomundo you will find, jamming and problems of the bright sea sunshine.

I have heard an old barders tale of placing yea supplied spring infront of a looking glass to create a same, BUT peculiarly different sort of grey spring, that would by my rotten teeth work in ye hobbit. But they say the personalities of the mirrored springs will take yer hand if you look at them wrong.

Best ye dig for this buried treasure and catch a contra fish along yer endeavors

Wish the replacement bushing fit snug instead of requiring JB weld to be held in place.

5 of 5 works great after clean up and something thoughts Friday, May 29, 2015
taco eater : tee rux from Winnipeg, MB Canada  
casting isn't perfect but that's no biggie. the one i got says generation 3 on the box. (bought of someone that purchased it but never attempted to use)

Not sure if this is the case with all of the TJT's but the rails for the ramp plate guides are not identical, all 3 taper and get wider towards the bottom, one was noticeably bigger and needed to be massaged to get the plate guides to work without filing them to a fragile size. Also the machining on the outer edge is a little off as well. That being said, in theory, these imperfections would case the variator to be unbalanced and cause excessive stress on the end of your crank (probably why we've all heard of stock cranks not holding up with a TJT)

All in all its a wicked variator and worth the little work to use. very smooth variation all around, takes you to another level forsure.

Ill be looking into getting my balanced and see whats going on there.

5 of 5 you need this Tuesday, January 27, 2015
taco eater : rodney from brisbane, CA United States  
you absolutely need to get this and a ramp plate if you have a derbi or hobbit. no question, it is a must. will completely transform your bike and will be wayyy faster all around. my favorite mix is 3 yellow 3 blue weights or just all yellow or blue.

4 of 5 On my Athena build this now rocks Wednesday, August 14, 2013
taco eater : marc friedman from davis, CA United States  
Awesome variation after I sanded the center bushing for like four hours to get it to fit on the shaft of a stuffy crank. But now no problems.
