Just wondering what weights i should run in my bike for best take off and top speed. I had 9 and 11's and it was fine but i still have a 1/4 inch at the top of the pulley. Besides does anyone have a problem with the ones from vtcycles flat spotting fast?

If it isnt shifting all they way the weights are too light or the rear spring is too big.

You should be able to push 60 with those gears.

Flat spots on the rollers, they do more sliding than rolling in most cases.

How often do you have to replace the rollers then?
Also, since the 6 rolling areas on the variator are symmetrical, can you just use 3 weights instead of 6?
Like 3 weights of 12 would be the same as 6 weights of 6? Or doesn't that work?

Yes it does. I've tried this on virtually every vari I've had at one point or another. Jog has 3x 6g weights now in stock vari, rotational symmetry keeps things balanced.
On Dio style I'd say 6g-8g is sweet spot for revs, but depends on your supporting mods. On Jog style 3g-4.5g

So why not offer a tip?
