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.

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.
