correct
let me restate the question
does the M11r have detentes in the ring, like the Eye10
and if those indentations get filled in with JBweld
is the ring actually infinitely variable, like the Eye10
iow, the only difference in the M11r and V10r is that the M11r dial has some indentations that the spring loaded ball bearing drops into, like the Eye10
as another example
I have both a stock Eye10 with the ball and spring and the 10 detentes around the dial
plus I have an Eye10 whose ball and spring were removed, creating a smooth infinitely variable dial
my question is, does the M11r actually have an infinitely variable dial, and it is simply being stopped by a ball bearing dropping into a detente hole, like the stock Eye10?
if so, that info could create an opportunity to modify an M11r to become Infinitely Variable.

the discussion about the thickness of the grease is another aspect about these rotary dials that interests me
Ive read that Nyogel 767a is a good choice if the dial is too easy to turn.
Ive also read that the stock grease is roughly equivalent to Nyogel 760a
I have a Titanium Jetbeam TCR-1, whose dial was very stiff and gritty. It has the original 7 year old grease. I was able to improve it to feel smoother and less gritty, by adding a drop of Nano Oil and working the dial, hundreds of times… but I still felt it could be improved.
So I just received some Monky Spunk grease from DarkSucks and I Love the stuff. First I put some on the threads of the body, that were noisy and grabby before the Spunk. After adding that lube, the body threads are buttery smooth and silent. I have never felt such awesome smooth Titanium threads before.
I then worked a bit of Spunk into the side edges of the Titanium control ring (no disassembly), and all traces of grittyness have disappeared. The stuff is Magic!
Then I put some on my Original RRT-01, whose dial felt underlubricated and gritty before the Spunk. Now its another level of smoother. Not perfect yet, and bear in mind this is only adding a tiny amount of grease at the edge of the ring. But in every way better than the results I was getting with just Nano Oil.
So, for those with gritty Ti Threads or control rings… I give an enthusiastic endorsement of the Monky Spunk.
and for those whose dials seem too easy to turn, I suggest Nyogel 767a
