Rottefella Cobra R8 cartridge stiffness

I like this binding... the silver cartridge blue is soft, the silver cartridge red is stiff, what is the black cartridge with the clear color? I want to say medium, but there's no indication anywhere... older style maybe?

That's a good one... Unless you measure it yourself (with a specific tool), I am not sure you'll get an answer... Why? Asked the exactly same question to Trine Stenseth from Rottefella... and she couldn't answer. She said: «It seems like you have an old binding, since you have black cartridges. The new ones have silver with blue or red plastic cap between the cartridge and rod. We only have hard and soft springs. Hard springs comes with long bindings and soft springs with short.»
