Fixing Wobble on the Sierra

[JBCustomPens]

Hi everyone,

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I hope somebody can gain from it. I notice that some of the refills are smaller that the hole in the nib, which can cause it to wobble around while writing. What I did to fix this was, take the spring, and reverse it so that the smaller part goes on first on the refill. I noticed hardly any wobble after that. So, if you have a refill that has some wobble on it, this might work for you. I hope that somebody can gain from this.

I thought that was the way the spring was to go......... Maybe I've been wrong all along.

Maybe, I was wrong!

On a serious note, on most refills it won't fit that way, but on ones that wobble, it'll fit and stabilize it more for me!


I could be wrong though...:biggrin:

I seldom use the "kit" refill so I guess I was just lucky.

The ones I have found to have the most wobble, are the gel and other upgrade ones. I think the springs that come with the kit are designed for the kit refills.
