TL;DR ...
One point I’d make is that the numbers are a good staring point, but will take you only so far. I’d give serious credence to "tribal knowledge", trying the combination out, as well as the advice of a trusted dealer.
I took the compliance calculator off our website because I was seeing too many people treating it as gospel instead of as a guideline.
A customer brought over a Van den Hul cartridge to test with a Kuzma 4Point (11"). Frankly (from the compliance and tracking force recommendation), I didn’t think this would be a good match, but that’s why you try things.
I documented that session over here https://galibierdesign.com/van-den-hul-demo/
I suspect the Kuzma’s phenomenally, low friction bearing plays a strong part in this, as it’s a wonderful combination.
