Hi John,

My understanding from Joachim Gunst is that adding the sliding blocks 
was a minor reliability improvement. I never got the impression that it 
was a significant improvement, or that there is any significant problem 
with the older design that does not use sliding blocks.

I have two Gunst bearings. One is the new design with a wider groove in 
the sleeve to be used with sliding blocks, and the other is the old 
narrow groove design that does not use sliding blocks. I will use one on 
my TR250 and the other on a TR6 I am getting.
