Edit: also check that the screw head is still fixed to the loading part. If not, you could glue it and/or use an Allen wrench to make sure it allows the thumb screw to tighten fully. i am not interessted in a hillbillie quick fix. i want a stable one for a good competition with some hundreds lifts on it. locktite on the screw dont change the problem with slipping on the welds. a cradboard wear out fast overtighten also results in a oblique dubhub which nevertheless loosens and rotates because the uneven welds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think filing down the welds a little would fix the issue. I haven't had the problem you're having, but I don't rotate on this lift. Then again, I've only lifted around 34kg.

He probably means lifting on it hundreds of times for the longevity of the hub. At least that’s my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 If you are confident that you will not make any modifications to the gripping surface of the DubHub, I don't see a problem with grinding/filing the welds. Note that this will void your warranty if one of the ground weld, fails (I seriously doubt it will). I have never experienced the hub turning during a lift, but I want to make the event run as smoothly as possible while still keeping with the spirit of fairness and competition. Please send me a picture of the finished modification. Thank you. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corefire Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 here in the pic the problem zones. i will dremel them out. via the weldings the dubhub does not stand straight but inclined obliquely to one side, not good to see in the pictures yes hundreds of lifts. not lbs. my best is only 70lbs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bencrush Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 There is a 60-second time limit per attempt. During this time, is it allowed to switch between left and right hands to get a legal lift in that 60 seconds? Or do you have to make all the attempts with whatever hand you made the first attempt during the 60 seconds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll leave it to Eric to pronounce the actual rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competitors can switch hands as often as they please, both during and between attempts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wobbler Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Two Q's: Can you get your chalking of the implement sorted out before the 1 minute starts? Is there a set event order, or is it up to the individual venue to determine? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a set event order, or is it up to the individual venue to determine? The order of events is the same for all venues. Flask, Crusher, Shallow DubHub, Little Big Horn. Chalking is to be done within the allotted time. The intention here is simply to not have contests drag out too long. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Competitors can pick their approximate jumps, but will be limited to a small degree by the weight plates that are available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric, Thank you for answering the questions that have probably already been answered, and that we are too lazy to go looking for. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Pupchenko Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 WD-40 is still an anti-corrosion agent, not a lubricant and dries quickly, and oils for weapons or sewing machines do not flow well into the gap between the axis of the crusher and its “body”. I mixed them in a ratio of 1 to 1 (or 2 wd to 1 oil), the resulting mixture flowed well around the axis and began to flow from the other side. A few days later wd evaporated and only oil remained in the working gap ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard_Washington Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I prefer the silicone based lubricates. That garage door spray you have in the video is top shelf. I use it on my garage door and gripper springs. It lasts a very long time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
