I'm not sure whether it would fit your pen but have you tried the parker refills with the GEL ink? They write really well. Almost like writing with a fountain pen.

My preferred rollerball refill is the Schmidt in the metal tube. I buy them by the case of 100 each and use them in my rollerball pens. The similar refill with the plastic tube is also good. I never had a problem with a Schmidt refill. Stay away from Hausser, they do not last. Some rollerballs also take some Uniball refills, but I found that they smear very often.

Maybe try going to office depot/staples and buy the generic refill for mont blanc if you like MB>

Does anyone NOT like MB refills? I have two left. No idea what I'm going to do with them... they simply do no write up to snuff (for non FP, I like Pilot Precise and Sharpie Pen). I'm thinking of doing the G2 mod (since I have a bunch of those and don't like them either!) and giving them to friends.

Anyone done the hack?

Works well. I used it in my Pilot G6.

The Schmidt refills are very nice.

I did this hack this weekend and it works great...i opted for the nicer $9 G2 pen so I have the $15 version....it takes all of one minute to do...

and i have a very nice writing instrument.
