Mixed Roller Weights ?
Are there any merits to mixing roller weights ? I have a new stock set for my Aero 50 and a little heavier set that are in good shape. I've seemed to have loss some pick-up and top end with the stock set... Will mixing them give the best of both worlds ? I've read that they need to be mixed 3 and 3.. Advice much appreciated, I'm a newbie to all this..
Re: Mixed Roller Weights ?
I have mixed weights when I didn't have the "right" amount of weight. I have done 3 and 3, 4 and 2, and 5 and 1. I have also drilled weights with a step drill to lighten them.
I should add:
By the sound of your question I wonder if you really want less rpm? Unless you step up your contra spring heavier weights will slow down the engine.

Re: Mixed Roller Weights ?
Never ever do any combo except 3 of one weight and 3 of another staggered. Anything else causes balance issues and is not bright move.elitedio wrote:I have mixed weights when I didn't have the "right" amount of weight. I have done 3 and 3, 4 and 2, and 5 and 1.

Re: Mixed Roller Weights ?
My weights both stock and ones that were in it have a flat metal side on one end and a side that is slightly indented a little on the other.. Not sure if they go in flat side to the right or left when I'm holding the variator ? Any one with any thoughts ??
Re: Mixed Roller Weights ?
either way is fine as long as they roll
