Wedgie Jackson
« on: January 29, 2011, 08:35 PM »
Why oh why did they make that daft arsed long wedge out of soft as cheese alloy...  :rant:

I've just stripped the thread in one just tightening it enough so the stem doesn't move

Second time i've wrecked the threads.... what a bag o shite!

Got a wanted ad up if anyones got a spare?  :angel:

Don't be too harsh! The Wedgie Jackson was actually invented by our own S&MAlex!

Yeah but the first one I made was steel, and used a hollow stem bolt. I guess it makes sense to use ally cos the steel one was quite heavy.
Either way, it stopped 1" fork steer tubes bending .... a mear months before A-head forks/stems came out  :crazy2:  :2funny:

Oops... Sorry Alex...  :-[

But they are shite...  :LolLolLolLol:

Can understand why they were made of alloy, rednecks are heavy enough to start with!

Think i'll look out for a profile stem and bin the redneck

Yeah, i dont know why they made them in ally, or at least made them with a bigger bolt. The stem and shaft are the best 1" stem you'll get.
