It's for a DRUM stupid.And what exactly is wrong with guitar center? Just curious
I've been shopping at GC for 25 years, it's sort of an unavoidable chore for any musician, being that they are ubiquitous.And what exactly is wrong with guitar center? Just curious
I have a box full of broken Tama Iron Cobra and Probeat pedals.well heres an idea get a iron cobra!
huh, thats good to know. Especially since guitar center carries tons of DJ, Piano, and Drum sh!t. Whos stupid? Im sorryIt's for a DRUM stupid.
ok, I didnt know they didnt carry titanium springs. My bad. I know what your saying. I just like them because they do have some pretty big stores around me with a bunch of stuff. And I know enough to where when the sales people come up to me I ignore them. So I dont mind guitar center. But, SD is pretty big in the music scene so the sales people actually know some of the stuff. Frys electronics on the other hand...I've been shopping at GC for 25 years, it's sort of an unavoidable chore for any musician, being that they are ubiquitous.
Everyone there is a fvcking idiot. Every time I'm there, the sales person milks ME for product info, not the other way around. Their pricing is inconsistent. They have a very narrow, trend driven selection of products. The place is a cacophony of untalented little fvcktards wanking on instruments they can't afford.
And...they don't sell titanium bass drum pedal springs, which is why my reply to your post was the little shaking head disgusted smiley.
Thanks, no ti springs.for future searches, check out www.leespring.com. I found that place over the summer and is where my company outsources most of our springs now.
Ti is not by nature indestructible. It has a higher strength to weight ratio than steel, but that per se does not make it more durable.Weight has nothing to do with it. I need to indestructibilitize it.
ooh! what about scandium!? In all seriousness, isnt that supposed to be pretty durable?Ti is not by nature indestructible. It has a higher strength to weight ratio than steel, but that per se does not make it more durable.
I thought ti had a very high number of fatigue cycles before breaking, making it an excellent spring material. That's why it can be used in pivot-less soft tail frames, etc.Ti is not by nature indestructible. It has a higher strength to weight ratio than steel, but that per se does not make it more durable.
I think your right here. thats why all of the motocross suspension companies started using it in their high end stuff. My yamaha has ti kayaba fork springs as well as a ti shock spring.I thought ti had a very high number of fatigue cycles before breaking, making it an excellent spring material. That's why it can be used in pivot-less soft tail frames, etc.
From Renton's site, hyping Ti springs:I thought ti had a very high number of fatigue cycles before breaking, making it an excellent spring material. That's why it can be used in pivot-less soft tail frames, etc.
They had me at "we will send you free springs".You're better off with the replacements that the manufacturer offered.

I was hoping (distantly) that there would be a common ti equivalent readily available online. For like...$0.50. Dammit.
