Hi, i've just started to build my Ts1 and i've fitted an MB selector spring.
Will i have problems changing the gears? Will it be too stiff?

You will have no problems if you use Nylon lined clutch and gear cables, routed with NO kinks or tight bends. Easy stuff!

Ok, but you refer all to the Mb spring or to other different ones?
I'll use nylon lined cables and hope to not have problems.

surely the stronger springs do what they are supposed to do and that is to help prevent gears jumping out ,and to provide a better /more positive selection.

although they may seem somewhat difficult at first,time and use will tame these.... :D
