Nothing new just blocking and splitting every day hohum.
But i will have a yack about sprocket noses.
I have been using 20'' GB Ti bar for years and have put hundreds hrs on um with allmost no probs.
As you blokes no there no good anymore made in China bla bla.
Get some Tsumura/Carlton bars they said.
The paint on the Ti bars dont last long they said,give ya a tip that loverly finish on the Tsumura/Carlton dont last long as well.
In the pick the top one is a brand new sprocket with the 6 pins in the bearing area.
On the right is a sprocket from a Ti bar that has done hundreds of hrs as seen in the wear.
The left one is of a Tsumura bar that has about 6 to 8 hrs on it with the 4 pins in the bearing area.
Bottom pic shows the 4 pin Tsumura arrr no good.
What do yas think ?.
