I forget who makes it(found in the QBP catolog), but I just have one of those add-ons that have the rubber seal engage the threads far before the pin is pushed... you feel the seal enguage, and still have to thread it another 1/8" before the guage reads any preasure...
It's amazing how many companies will just take this generic **** and slap their name on it! They really don't take enough pride in creating their own!!!
Why would I want to learn from a mechanic, that I disagree with, or a low-life asshole like transcend?!!! If you truely know it all, then I would agree with your answer(like that'll happen)!!!
Hey transcend, you're such a F UCKING low-life, and you can:
Gee... This picture game is fun! I'm beginning to look like a transcend(or should I say low-life)!!!!!!
Oh, That's ok, I allready sent the request form to the admins, to take my name off this P.O.S. site! I'm just haveing fun seeing where this goes untill the inevitable happens! I don't know what I was thinking when I joined this P.O.S. site! I guess I just thought it was another chance to sell stuff.
:rolleyes:
What a low-life, I have seen plenty of mis-spelled words on this site, but atleast I don't make the effort to point them out to make fun of people!:nopity:
Just because something is mis-spelled, doesn't mean I don't realize it, it just means I don't care enough to correct it...
I thought this was a pretty cool site at first, but now I see it's nothing more than a bin full of rude-ass drug-addicts(hence all the pot threads and the drug-rehab link bottom right corner), with nothing better to do than sit around and insult people!
PHUCKING DISGUSTING P.O.S...
You guys must be wimps if you need oil to help you tighten brandnew nipples on brandnew spokes in brandnew rims, because I find them pretty damn easy to tighten, and pretty damn smooth w/o any oil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds to me like "OVER-OBSCESSIVE" dissorder!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys say it is so important to oil the eyelet, but yet out of all the sciezed nipples, that I have seen, it has allways been the threads that were sciezed. I have never seen a single nipple sciezed in the eyelets! Even on old rusted steel rimmed wheels! Threrefore, I see no reason for the...
Gee...? I just found this on a wheel building site:
To prevent this, nipples should not be lubricated, and it is a good idea to use a spoke adhesive such as Wheelsmith Spoke Prep or one of the milder formulas of Loctite ® on them.
And that's coming from a professional! BAM!
FYI, I have built more than one wheel, And I will build more, but when it comes to a wheel on my own bike, that I know I'm going to be abuseing the h3ll out of, I preffer to pay someone else to do it, so that if something happen, it's not my problem! In the end, I agree w/stik: "TO EACH HIS...
Spoke prep may have oil in it yes, but the point of it is to harden later to keep the spoke from backing off! Regular oil lets the nipples back off, and you endup with a really loose wheel!
