Fitting it means swapping your wheel's front flyer bearing for the jumbo bearing in the box, then two screw-in hooks and the guides. The bearing reducer bush in the box lets your standard flyer run in the jumbo bearing, so you can switch between the two without changing bearings again.
For everyday yarn, the Sliding Hook Flyer takes the smaller bobbin. Send us a photo and we'll tell you which flyer fits.
