out of the top end companies the ones i really dont like are; shadow, sunday, primo, proper, fly and premium, they all make decent parts but all of them are outdone in everything they make by another company in my opinion

profile arent as bad as people say, ive had some experience with them now and all im saying is that they could use primo pawls instead of there own, there cranks will never brake either that or thell seize on haha

Got to agree, I haven't laced one as such, but replacing spokes was an absolute nightmare and did anyone else notice the major design flaw with the valve hole? Being stupidly close to a spoke? I ended up running 35 spokes on mine out of pure rage.

wal-mart doesn't assemble Sony or birds-eye now do they, and to meet that price point, gotta be junk.

I saw the geo and specs on that frame and thought "Wow, that's a step back 10 years." 3/8" dropouts, lol.

Maybe we should talk about underrated companies that have built good stuff, despite having little or no street cred. I had a Specialized Fuse for a while, and out of all bmxes I've ever ridden, it was the probably the stiffest most confidence inspiring frame I've ridden. I used to huck huge stair gaps on it, and so did the kid I sold it to once I got a new bike.

Honest question here I'm wondering if anybody knows the answer to. How do heat treating processes vary between companies? I know they have patents on them, but as far as I always understood, after a part is welded, it's cooked in an oven at about 2700 degrees for 48-72 hours, cooking out stress risers and enhancing durability due to more uniform crystallization...

So how do the processes differ, and how does one patent one?




how the heat is applied, how long for and what temp exactly, also where it is treated.
its also how its cooled, air, water, oil, cryo all play just an important part in the tempering process as applying heat
