eddy Posted October 9, 2014 Share If you think you measure chain wear with a chain checker tool you need to buy this book. It is Nobel prize season and I am awaiting the Physics announcement with baited breath. It is a travesty that such original thought and genius has hitherto not been recognised.

Point is and dont take it personal, hubbers have time to speak *** all day and pick on something contructive done by someone, but very few if any have even bothered to read the damn book.

straatvark Posted October 9, 2014 Share ... but if you can convince yourself that you're the only one who knows anything a little knowledge goes very far. We are discussing the author and Lipstiek Dipstiek, topics we are qualified to discuss. If you have the time to read the book please post a summary here.

Say you'd read a number of short stories, and found them wanting, would you buy a novel by the same author? Rudi Pollard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No probably not, but somewhere in time a saying came about"Dont judge a book by its cover"I realize it does not refer to the author. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted October 9, 2014 Share Not really, you need to understand that it will take around 89 pages of describing the definition between stretch and elongate . Then two pages on how to measure a chain and replacing of chains and what types of chains you get (speed) Then the book is in and amongst millions of other e-books on Amazon that people publish where you can have anything from how the peel potatoes to how to murder your mother in law and dodge the forensics .my bad....

SwissVan Posted October 9, 2014 Share Please ,please mother Theresa, nobody picked on JB.The guys are discussing the "book" and how one can have 91 pages on a chain.

rouxtjie Posted October 9, 2014 Share If you think you measure chain wear with a chain checker tool you need to buy this book. I did not always agree with Johan but his lesson on how to check chain wear was spot on and has served me well. Saved me money also.Its not the tool but the how, measure from outside ie the plates and not the rollers. Nothing more to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumbleweed Posted October 9, 2014 Share No probably not, but somewhere in time a saying came about"Dont judge a book by its cover"I realize it does not refer to the author. See, that's just the thing, I usually buy by author and the quality of their previous work. Hence this won't pop up on my Kindle. rouxtjie, Rudi Pollard, Wayne Potgieter and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
