What speeds are you running your shooting wheels? How much compression?
Thanks for the vote of confidence. We went this direction because, for us, our previous experience made it the most comfortable fit. It was really a lot easier for us than the other options we saw and/or prototyped.

We are running miniCIMs with a 4:3 reduction, so 4650 free speed. Compression is 4.75" on the nominal ball size.
