Thanks!

No, it takes a lot of effort to turn even the 4th 60t gear from the input. I've had this gearbox sitting on my desk for a few months and every so often someone gives it a spin. Even after all this time we've been unable to advance the small wheel a noticeable amount (you can see the sharpie line we added when I first built the gearbox on the top of that wheel.)
