I have a customer that wants one of my Atrax RB pens. She prefers ballpoint though.

I cam across this at Paradise pen on the net:

Cross Jumbo Ball Point Refill - Fits Roller Ball - Med Pt Black

Has any one tried one of these cross RB to BP conversion refills?

I was wondering if they are the same size as the Schmidt 888? Also are there any cons to using one?

I am going to go look at them tonight since I will be close to that store.

Thanks!

According to the chart posted here in the last week or so, the Schmidt is 4.25 inches long and the one you are looking at is longer by 1/16 of an inch.

Interesting. I did not see that chart. I will go check the library. Is it there?

I think I can compress or shorten the spring to make it work. Thanks.

In case anyone is interested the Cross refill at the link I listed above works great. I tried one out on an Atrax and a Triton at Paradise Pens tonight.
