Do not buy the cheap CVD's. When they break you will end up buying the good ones and the cost will be the cheap ones plus the good ones. Get the 7mm ones first. I learned this the hard way...........

8mm shafts. Far as I know every CVD for the Clods are 8mm's. Really only the outer shafts are 8mm. The inners are still 6mm. Even the TTR's.
