Has anyone rode a bike with a Pinion gearbox? They look pretty cool and pairing it with a belt drive seems to make the drivetrain bombproof and almost maintenance free

I have been eyeballing there new ebike drive system. I have a buddy that has it on his 160mm travel bike and he swears by it. It's the latest pinion, I can't think of what frame it is at the moment. It's a high pivot, and doesn't need a tensioner. He was running a belt on his originally and said the belt gets squeaky/gritty and it annoyed him. There were some tensioning differences between the two setups and due to that the chain was preferred.


I'm gonna try to go ride Sunday and next weekend. Finally on a decent roll getting in better shape.

When does this take affect? Can someone do their paperwork next week amd get the $0 tax???

Good for you. I've tried 2 of them, they weren't budging. I'd rather pay someone than deal with it, and you might have noted that I have stuff to get fluted anyways.

Appreciate your non-helpful answer though.

Jesus man, I’m no gunsmith but my factory Tikka barrel was not a huge deal. Get off your wallet and order a solid barrel vice with appropriate insert for the Tikka factory barrel. External action wrench and do the deed. Get proper tools or continue to pay the guy that has them. 2 barrels in you are even; after that you are ahead.

I guess the Berger’s cost more for a reason… I duno why I’m even posting this other than surprised in a negative way by the others.

It's pretty simple. The faster the machines run the greater the deviation from the mean will likely be. But the unit costs will be lower for the fixed costs. The real question is "can you shoot the difference in precision" between the brands?

I started seeing this shit in 1965 just after I ragged up for uncle in 64. Its got worse & worst with every election, both sides (D's & R's )are playing against the middle, us. The thing that chaps my ass the most is those who can't see thru the B/S and think xyz is doing so much for the country, when in fact they are part of the plan from the get go. No where past DDI has it got better, we just keep marching towards our death throes. $130+ trillion in unfunded debt, and there is no recovery from that. Every president to date has dug the hole deeper, one way our the other.

Yup. Enough to make a guy give up hope.

@carbonbased ,

I’ve done that too. That’s what led me to have my gunsmith buddy clean up the threads on the receiver and try to salvage the barrel. I can’t remember if we pulled off the salvaging the barrel. But I do remember, he told me absolutely positively under no circumstances thread a barrel into a receiver where you don’t first apply anti seize to keep that from happening again.

The first ten or so barrel pulls were a learning experience. I still run into a problem barrel occasionally. Those I tap in the tightening direction before trying loosening.

Except the one that ended up like your picture, the rest of them have been fairly straightforward

I'll take the B4

You realize I’m sure there’s groups that think similar of you right? Hate only breeds more hate. And that’s not some hippie nonsense it’s actually observably true.

You are still not understanding the actual situation we are all faced with. It is “normal” human to try and find a middle ground. When things become really important and high risk, the usefulness of “normal human” feelings drops to almost zero.

I'm not going to argue, I voted for Trump to fuck things up. And so far, he's messing with the correct people. You're the one that is so unhappy, what did you expect to see by now? Seriously, specifically, what did you expect to see from Trump? I don't care about everyone that promised and didn't deliver. What did you expect from Trump?

I understand your position. You probably have 20 years on me. Even now, I worry that I will run out of time before the work is done.

This is actually winning for the US dwellers. Here in Canukistan, there is lots of bitching because DT is making decisions that benefit the US economy. Rings pretty hollow. The question is, do I move to ND and enjoy the energy boom stateside?

The ones that often hang out downrange at the local gun club? You'd think those guys would learn..

This is what happens when redditors buy firearms. They look up "what's hot right now" and assume that their research is solid gold for all situations. They are afraid to say "I'm a rookie and don't know diddly squat, please inform me."

Not saying you are the rookie here, Tony. Just answering your rhetorical Q!

Yeah that's what I was getting at. The amount of people that go to ranges looking all kitted out for WW3 only to plop down at a bench and not even touch any of the gadgets bolted to the rifle is pretty astounding.
