I'm considering getting cryo treatment done on my 901 guts before I put it together. Jake said he pays $10 a pound. I'd do both shafts, 2nd through 5th gears, and the ring gear. Just wondering if anyone happens to know roughly how much that weighs.

As far as I know, no. It just ups the hardness and decreases wear. My knife is cryo treated, and I've done things with it that would break the tip off of any other knife I've ever used. Jake sold me on it after describing a bug trans that would repeatedly break until he cryo treated the gears.
