I have bought a Jumbo Flyer with the Sliding hooks and I am pleased to say that with the good advice from 'The Alpaca Spinner' I can use it on both my Ashford Traveller and the Traditional.
At the moment it is on the Traditional but I have a new jumbo bearing for the Traveller and a reducer bush which means I can us the Traveller with either the regular or jumbo flyer and for any thickness of yarn as I also have an orifice reducer. The same versatility also applies to the Traditional. I think this is really 'cool'.
I should add that I like the Sliding Hook Flyer but I am not sure that it is that much better than the regular hooks. I chose to buy it because it makes the Traditional more flexible - the flyers that came with it only had two ratios whereas the new flyer has four ranging from 4.1 to 12.5:1.
