I've been a fan of GB since a few years ago right around the time Stens dropped them in the US. I had bought a new 66" GB TI bar on eBay from a guy who had a bunch of larger bars he was selling off. I wanted to convert it from 404 to 3/8 but he didn't have any bar nose available and now Stens didn't either. I contacted some dealers in Australia but apparently shipping to the US was to big a hassle and they thought to expensive. I sent an e-mail to GB trying to find a new US dealer/distributor and explaining what I needed. A few days later I got a response (from Jeff Kennedy) that a 3/8 bar nose was in the mail. I sent back a thank you and to send me a bill or just tell me the cost and got back a response no charge. I always appreciated that a company would have customer service like that even at a time when they were struggling.

[QUOTE="jczv, post: 4821365, member: 35440"] I've been a fan of GB since a few years ago right around the time Stens dropped them in the US. I had bought a new 66" GB TI bar on eBay from a guy who had a bunch of larger bars he was selling off. I wanted to convert it from 404 to 3/8 but he didn't have any bar nose available and now Stens didn't either. I contacted some dealers in Australia but apparently shipping to the US was to big a hassle and they thought to expensive. I sent an e-mail to GB trying to find a new US dealer/distributor and explaining what I needed. A few days later I got a response (from Jeff Kennedy) that a 3/8 bar nose was in the mail. I sent back a thank you and to send me a bill or just tell me the cost and got back a response no charge. I always appreciated that a company would have customer service like that even at a time when they were struggling. [/QUOTE]
