I am really pumped on the ported barrel. Not only for its practical reasons, but the look is dialed! Something with a ton of detail like that is what I'm looking for. They also have a full titanium version....

Taurus Tracker .44 Magnum looks/sounds pretty damn nice too from what I've been reading.Lately I've been leaning more towards a revolver...

.357 Magnums are really nice. If I were to get a revolver it would be something similar to that.


Or a Glock G33, keep it simple.

Anyone keep a gun at home? Not for hunting or anything like that. More for protection from break ins and whatnot. There has been a lot of shady shit in my neighborhood lately. Just trying to see what your thoughts are on this.

Yes I know the risk of keeping a gun in the house. I do not have kids and it won't be left out in the open or left unlocked. Yes I have shot guns before, I have made parts for guns and I know how they work.

I'm sure there are better alternatives to keep in the house but lets face it, who doesn't want a gun? Come on.

Would a small gun be better than a big gun?

Recommendations, opinions, your own stories, etc etc etc... lets hear it.

Common Questions and former stickies. / common bearing and bolt/nut sizes

« on: January 02, 2008, 03:07:35 PM »

Kenny, hate to correct you, but I know for a fact that the RNC bolts are 3/8"-16tpi. Why? Because I ran them in my mini front hub for about 6 months.

I know for a FACT that the RNC cranks I WAS RUNNING before I bought Wombolts used a 5/16-18 thread in each end of the spindle. As with most small companies, a running change is completely possible. They may have changed this up considering the heads on the 5/16-18 bolts pulled off of the thread. The broach was too deep on the ones I had, and the 3/16" broach intersected with the minor diameter of the thread.

I know this because I had to shorten my spindle, remill the square and drill/tap the thread deeper on one side. I also used one of my stem bolts when I had to tighten the cranks since both of the spindle bolts broke, as mentioned above.

There was nothing wrong with the spindle length, however if you remember, I faced the back of the arms so I needed to shorten the spindle. I wanted a smaller Q-Factor.

Anyways, long story short, mine were 5/16-18, yours were 3/8-16.

News / BG Interbike report is up.

Actually, Rob-O said it, maybe he was joking or I miss-understood.

Considering I designed, wrote the programs, setup the mill, machined, deburred, polished, and handed Robbie the clamp, I think I would know better than anyone that the clamp is not a Fit seat clamp. Not only did I make this one, I have been making these for close to four years. Look at my bike check and see how long before Interbike I posted the pictures. You can clearly see that clamp on there. Long before the Series 3 line was even thought about. In no way am I trying to start something with this, because there is nothing negative going on between Fit and us. I am simply trying to clear this up.

Good review Sheep, I think you pretty much showed everything that was worth showing. You missed a couple of parts, but someone will cover them soon. One thing that needs to be fixed in your review though is that the seat clamp on Robbies S3 is not a Fit. It is actually one of ours (ZodiacEng.). I think many people got confused with this because the pockets are similar to the S3 stem he is running. It was nice to meet you at the show and talk to you a little bit about everything.
