Do the stiffer turnbuckles just transfer more load and start breaking other stuff? What's the optimum turnbuckle option to run?
The best thing to do is get some Ti 3.5mm turnbuckles, they are pretty popular now that AE made 3.5mm ballcups that dont stretch and put them on the B74.2.
I built my 6.4 months ago with yokomo ballcups because they dont slop out in 2 weeks like 3mm AE ballcups, but they are brittle and I've broken a few. I have tweaked/lightly bent turnbuckles as well but I run mod classes on very high grip surfaces. Overall they're very durable and you don't have to worry too much about it.
