This one maybe?

Yup, I did but only briefly and the oxan started to chew up the aluminum spacer pretty bad right off the bat. I didn't notice any huge difference in the performance of the setup but I also don't remember getting hung up. Maybe I'll try a steel sleeve/spacer and see how that goes.

Ok, to my eye it looks ok. Here's some pics. They're huge on purpose.. if they're so big for some that they mess up the thread view let me know and I'll resize. I'll take a look next time I get hung up to note which way the spine is facing and how the oxan and tail of my rope are oriented.
