Funnily enough I’ve just machined my Zinc weights to just under 280g (from 340g) which should get them to engage at 2500 on the blue springs.    The torque gain is marginal but thought I’d give it a go.   I have tried Aluminium weights on blue garter springs (3300 rpm) which kept it in a lower ratio for longer but didn’t help much with engine and was unrefined when pulling away.

Will be interesting to see if I’ve machined off anything important!

I’ve increased the preload on the chain end to keep it in a lower ratio longer but haven’t tried changing that spring - this improved acceleration and I suspect increased belt wear.
