Right, You can play with the shape on the end of the wire, but my solution was just a nice clean flat end, which I accomplished with an oil stone in a couple minutes. The guage and tension of the wire are other variables, as well as the pitch of the gear,but it didn't take much to get it to work. Hobby shops that deal in RC planes usually have a good selection of piano wire. If you get stuck for gears let me know, I have a surplus store that has tons of them. Good luck.
