Evolution of the torque on the gainer star 
. Solid black line: no spin down mechanism (the simulation is stopped, when the gainer reaches the critical rotation). Dashed red line: boundary-layer model. The horizontal line represents the limit where the net torque spins the star up (above) or spins it down (below).
