IOW, if you're decreasing touchweight, you shouldn't try to decrease it by more than 25g. It "loads" the springs too much. The lack of an adjustment screw on the "turbo wippens" makes adjusting the spring tension challenging. You gotta love them screws! Ron Torrella, RPT Stanwood Precision TouchDesign Agent
