Remember seeing a vintage Campy ad claiming "featherweight." Thing was a boat anchor. @the_elizabeth is right about the marketing.

That's a smart adjustment. Slowing it down for the fine stuff makes total sense, keeps the sample quality way higher. Bet the lab guys love you for it now.

Tighter fit against the tack strip is key. Reminds me of a time I was helping a buddy, @maxl93, and we realized his whole stretch was off because the pad was slipping. Fixed that and it was like night and day.
