I didn't speak to Baker directly, but to other race directing staff. Won't name names. I love the powerade series, and can't thank the trailstaff enough for their continued advancement of the program. A small group battled management for years to make the program what it is today.
If I...
^^ This is why a few of us didn't race. Gravity East said Snowshoe wasn't allowing a discount, Snowshoe officials pointed the finger back at GE. I was, however, reassured that the extra redundant cost was justified because the GE races are "worth more" than SS's.
We aren't made of money, and...
I just called into question the use of "out of spec". No, I didn't measure the stem myself. The OP was comparing it to another product, and clarified what he meant. I was merely pointing out that recklessly using "out of spec" could lead other readers to form a negative opinion about a...
Thanks man, they've debuted at a couple races already, I can't produce them fast enough for testers.
Again, my posts weren't an attack on you.....the possibility of a manufacturer releasing a sub-par product sparked my interest. Take 'er easy.
You do understand the meaning of tolerance, right? Just because the design differs from others doesn't mean the had sloppy tolerances. Tell me, how many stems have you designed/produced? Not to toot my own horn, but I've been working on a two-piece direct mount that has been in the testing...
I'm sure their tolerance is precise (enough). As stated before, the holes shouldn't be a pin fit. No offense, but I'd be sure I actually knew what I was talking about before I claimed a company's product was "out of spec." When I read that, I heard "Havoc's tolerances are slop." I'd be a...
stuff breaks. "weight wienie'ing" increases said chance of stuff breaking. crashing further increases said odds. a scientific analysis of why said odds fell out of your favor is most certainly in order, as you have kindly provided.
still don't understand what you meant by saying the bolt...
****'ll buff out. I broke both of mine within two months. one was during a race, which i managed to finish one-handed. didn't get it xray'd until it was too late. they wanted to go in and re-break it, but i declined.....it's been fine ever since. a noticeable bump but that's it. plus...
what do you mean by "the bolt holes were out of spec"? the stem/crown interface bolts aren't meant to be a pin fit.
..and carbon bars, that's just silly.
DW,
I've been approached about reproducing some linkage for Sundays. The customer said he had already ok'd it with you, but I wanted to speak with you myself. If you could PM me to discuss this further I would greatly appreciate it.
