X-Gear Twist fix
Quote:
1. The carbon is twisted and the fibers are loose. 2. The carbon has been turned in the socket and the ribs in the sockets are worn away. 3. The parts were built loose, not clamped while the glue was drying. 4. burs were not cleaned off the parts before gluing. 5. The glued surfaces were not roughed-up before gluing and the seems split after you tighten the gear. 6. The screws were tightened and the carbon was inserted before the glue dried 12 hours. CA glue will dry on the outside quickly in this aplication, however the inside may take 12 hours to completely dry. Item 1 can be corrected by replacing the carbon. Sometimes you can soak the carbon in thin CA to stiffen it up. Items 2-6 can sometimes be corrected by wrapping Teflon tape around the rods and then reinsert them. Sometimes you just have to glue the carbon in to fix the twist problem. I suggest making sure the rods are good before doing so. I hope this helps, James |

James,
Thanks for the reply.. Full Throttle Industries? Is that one of your dealers? He is slow to send product and has not replied to many of my e-mails.. |
