FWIW the s/s A-ring weighs 117 grams on mine. That’s the 36mm A-ring. One difference I have noted is that all the other sellers I’ve seen have the smallest ring size as 40mm where the one i have is available with 36mm.

After a year post covid of “freedom” I am trialing a good old HT V3 nub modified by me to have a glans ring so no pullout. Working well so far.

The answer is 107 grams for the S/S cage.

That's very interesting indeed. So it's lighter than the one I've got. Maybe a different production run? Or are there really different factories making these?

BTW, having been into the stainless steel cage for a couple of days I actually find it even more comfortable than the original resin cage. Can't yet figure out why that is so.

Not sure but MsM’s is very polished, could that account for it ? Hard to say. Have to say i agree with the s/s being more comfortable, i find it’s less “sticky” internally and so my shaft is freer to move. On the negative side the added weight does tend to drag things down !!
