View Full Version : Bought a new variator and it came with 6 rollers 3 of one weight and 3 a gram heavier

As the rollers dont go out inline with the line of the radius and in fact go out in 2 different directions.
So I was wondering the best position for the heavier rollers and the lighter rollers?

Im sure this was discussed on another forum recently...

What size batteries does it take?

Alternatively , would be my guess..after-market weights??

Just space them equidistant around the variator.
Mixed weights never work well though even DR Pulley cam shaped ones will wear faster.
Make sure they are facing the right way, some weights have more nylon on one end than the other.

My thoughts also but after thinking about things I installed some other weights I had 7 grams all round

If I need to do anything on the side of the road its good that all the weights are the same and can go in any slot
