And the gap with, as well as any advices and how the response works. Thanks:)

Id recommend looking at the ones YYE and modeling it generally off of one you like the look of.

They come in all sizes and shapes!

I like them about 55/38/58

What about the gap?

Two penny gap is a rule of thumb promoted by some prominent players, but you could modify from there depending on what you like. Walnut axle is very common and it’s reliable and durable. I’ve used it and it works well.

I keep mine less than 3mm. I’ve had bad experiences with gap widths of 3mm or over.
