Go lo Pro?

[agg221]

Alasdair,

 

Can I suggest that you stop and think about something. What do you actually want to achieve?

 

It reads as though you are on a crusade against lo-pro, and against Rob D. 

 

You asked a question as to whether other people have had problems with lo-pro. It's a fair question and you have had answers. Some were positive, others were negative but you appear to be focussed only on the negative answers. You give the impression that you weren't really asking the question, but were trying to gather evidence against the equipment Rob sells. If all experiences had been negative then there would be a good reason to consider the equipment unsuitable, but they are not, so clearly it is not.

 

It is clear that different people have different experiences with lo-pro. In that regard it is definitely more sensitive to the approach of the user than heavier chain. This is not surprising - look at the build. It is clearly much closer to the limits and you would expect that to be more challenging the higher the torque of the saw, but it works for some, who get benefits from using it. If you wanted to find out why, you would ask what they had been milling, how they use it, look at videos etc. to try and get to the bottom of it. I have not seen any questions of that nature. Perhaps that would be a constructive direction to go in for everyone?

 

Rob D has commented on your thread and you appear to have taken exception to this. This is an internet forum and responses are open to all. You would particularly expect the subject of the thread to want to reply, and you would expect him not to agree with you. Do you not feel he is entitled to express his response to your comments?

 

In the end, you have experimented with lo-pro and have found it is not for you and have bought something else which you are happy with. You have been refunded. What more do you actually want someone to do?

Well said Alec

Personally had a really good experience with Rob

Will be buying from him again (when he gets some .404 bars back in stock )

It’s all a learning experience in the end!
