you will need two of those sets as there are 6 wieghts on each bike, and all rollers need to be the same

He said you can mix and match them with no problem. I can't remember the exact weights he said he used (something like 3x6g and 3x3g)- but he said it's best to experiment and choose the best ones.
I'm pretty much going on his word right now that they'll fit. But this seller is really nice and shipped me a new head for free. I would recommend him to anyone!
I am just waiting for a cheap or free electric impact wrench. Autozone wouldn't let me borrow theirs, harbor freight has them for $40 (I should have gotten one when they were on sale for $15!), and I don't want to get one off ebay.

btw, what is the size of the nut that holds the variator on? I seem to remember it was 13mm, but I'm not sure!

First the good news, the RAC impact wrench comes with a 17mm socket, now the bad news, it has gone back up to £24.99 at Argos.

As my new 4 gram rollers are completely worn out Ive mixed and matched my old ones with the worn out ones. so i have 3, 4g rollers(worn) and 3, 6g original rollers(semi-good). My bike doesn't rev as high as it used to but the acceleration isn't to bad. Going up hills is a bit more difficult though Now the better condition rollers are in, the bike has a slightly higher top speed and its stays at the top speed much easier  its definitely better to get good quality rollers in the first place though  |

no, its just when you said this "Now the better condition rollers are in, the bike has a slightly higher top speed and its stays at the top speed much easier"  |

so is it worth changing the rollers if they wear out so quickly?
