Ah, then I see we are pretty much on the same page after all. Swiss cheesing the whippens seems like a lot of trouble to go through for nearly (if not so) neglible affect unless one has some other reason to remove the whippens anyways. Springs get much more into this friction issue, but have a touch-wise side affect that some may find ... we'll use the word you chose... atypical. Break away resistance... I am still unsure of what you mean by this... has to be a dynamic componet I suppose.... can you expound a bit ? As far as the Nordic. I'll see what I can do. Norway has three more years before its our turn to arrange again, but perhaps the Danes can be coaxed next year. It would be cool. Cheers RicB Ric, you are right the difference is small when only removing WW but much more so with assist springs, which I may have mentioned in my previous posts on the subject. Is it as much as other removers/affecters? no. Does it (use of springs) cause an atypical feel from that loss of friction and less break away resistance (with less lead/key mass)? yes. As for Nordic you have only to ask. C
