Valve spring adjustment 177 Cyclone

[Pauly5]

I have ordered myself a Rob Lane regulator. I've been watching his videos, and while I don't know if I will get around to it, I certainly see the sense in balancing the valve spring with the regular pressure.
It will be set for 12 fpe. Has anyone done this adjustment, any tips?

i had a reg in my cyclone an altros reg .. made it consistent but i didn't like the noise of the reg venting on every shot

Never had any problems of venting sounds from the Lane's regulator in my .177 Logun Solo (FX Typhoon). Quiet as a mouse and at least 85 consistent shots at 12 ft/lbs

Well that all sounds promising. Solo, did yours vent easily enough through the thread, or did you have to cut a groove?

There is a tiny venting hole drilled in the cylinder about 45 mm from the breech. I didn't drill it myself because the Solo had a BTAS reg fitted when I bought it and Ben Taylor drilled the cylinder. The hole is really tiny (about .75 mm) and lays between the two O rings on the regulator.

Ok, so I got the regulator that vents through the thread. Either way, I'm certainly looking forward to a flat shot string.

Keep us informed, please - sounds better than taking a drill to the tube

Regulator arrived a couple of days ago. Nicely packaged, with great instructions. So tempting to just put it in, but want to record a shot string first to compare.

Has anyone had a play with the outlet valve spring in their Cyclone? The pack includes a drill bit for drilling the transfer port too. Of course it's not essential, but he has all you need to balance all aspects if you're up to it.

how dose this reg vent ? via the brass tube cap ?

[Pauly5]

Basically it vents through the thread at the breech end. The o ring is removed so it doesn't seal. So you can remove the regulator, put the o ring back in and you are back where you started, reversible.
The kit even has a replacement spring and a spacer for the outlet valve as well as a drill bit to drill the transfer port. Which of course isn't reversible.
