The first 99 on that list is "coke and whores"...

Yeah, Redline synthetic 2 stoke racing oil. 50:1, there's no point mixing it at 40:1. Its that good you could probably run it even leaner than 50:1 with no ill effect.

Rupe, a touch of topic but do you foresee a lot of use for srt on spikes? When wearing spikes I make a point of using them to ascend rather than my rope. Srt is fantastic for pruning etc but I don't get the appeal for dismantles.

There's quite a few old timers we don't see often. Perhaps it's to do with the fact that the forum is mainly full of new posters asking the same sorry of questions, and not many long time posters starting new threads. I'm very much guilty of this. Always seems to be something going on and I struggle to find time to sit down an write a well thought out post. I've no excuse, I just freelance climb. If the bigger company owners can do it I should pull my finger out.

Oregon depth gauge not as marked 0.025" (0.63mm)
Joe Newton replied to David Heaf's topic in Chainsaws
I Just use the correct depth guage meter. Every couple of sharpens or if I remove a lot of material. My chains always cut near enough to new. Never been tempted to check my meter with calipers though. -

So why after 37 years is this suddenly an issue. I'm pretty anal about sharpening but this is a bit much even for me. -
Anyone used these Rigging rings? If so what’s your thoughts
Joe Newton replied to KoalaArb's topic in Climbers talk
What's the benefit over a sling and micro pulley? -
One possibility is keeping an oval bigger in the top hole and having the wrench attached to that but at the bottom of the inner, held there with a retention rubber. Wouldn't look pretty but works in my head
-
We're identical on the diet front mate. I spend time between coffee breaks climbing though. Still have to smoke in the tree mind. Its only considerate when you've knocked a big limb out in top of the previous one.

Who used to pay you to make their clocks run faster?
-
I doubt anyone's actually measured it. They use more fuel but cut more efficiently. I doubt it makes much difference when you drive and tow a big diesel to site and then start destroying the ecosystem...

He already said, just beneath a Marque F, which makes him Marque E size

Beat me to it mate. Why does "golfers elbow" sound so much more tragic than tennis elbow?
-
You've not been climbing that long have you mate? There are options that relieve the pain, drugs and cortisone etc, but they just mask the symptoms. My elbows used to give me a fair bit of grief. I looked at what was causing it. Likely was one handing a 201 far more than was necessary, and holding my weight with one hand while i tended slack. I've bought a mini topper since, and still try to minimise unnecessary one handing (with a bit of trying you can really cut back on this). I also use srt as much as I can, and use a zig zag and often a foot ascenderto the the strain off my arms on ddrt. On dismantles using your spikes effectively is a big help too, I've never understood why people pull themselves up a rope so much on dismantles.
-
Harder, I reckon. To the point that if I needed a solid bloke for rigging it would be easier to use a climber.
-
It could also be a sign of a faulty head gasket. Check your coolant level isn't dropping, no oily surface on the coolant, and no white mayo like substance on the oil cap
-
Just loosened the two bolts in mine, slid the plate in with the gasket between and tightened. 2 min job mate.

Cheers mate, here's to 2018s batch of "pissed off saws"
-
Sounds like you have me sussed, its that kind of customer service (and the distinct lack of a more pleasant alternative) that keeps me coming back. For what its worth I had the echo all cleaned up for boxing, then started using it again. I genuinely cleaned a slug out of the flywheel cover. That would have kept you going for days!
-
Don't see how your bridge attachment would cause this, whet its a carabiner or a swivel. I have noticed that it was a constant occurrence with a by, and no longer any issue on mechanical.
-
haha I thought I'd made up for the husky with the 66, guess some people just love a good moan! I want you to do everything possible with my little naughty echo in the new year. Don't worry though, ill use it to muck out the cow shed before packaging.

how's that cheap Chinese bitch I warmed up for you?
