The light gauge TI rounds are .043-.089, and they are going on my '69 4001 LH tonight if I get time to install them. It currently has .040-.095 GHS Boomers on it, without any issue.

John,

I'm a long time Boomer user and would be very interested in your thoughts of the TI's in comparison to the Boomers once installed.

I used Boomers for over 15 years and just in the last 3 years, i switched to ernie ball extra slinkys 40-95's . And what a difference .Low tension and they absolutly last forever and actually , improve with age . Kinda like me :D
