Autolupus Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 These are the length rankings and their nick's: Bastard - 5/16"x7" Big Bastard - 5/16"x6.5" Huge Bastard - 5/16"x6" Grand Bastard - 5/16"x5.5" Magnificent Bastard - 5/16"x5" Insane Bastard - 5/16"x4.5" Fantastic Bastard - 5/16"x4" Psycho Bastard - 5/16"x3.5" Maniacal Bastard - 5/16"x3" I'm not sure whether the last two are official or unofficial titles. The lengths apply to all Bastard bars: There's Bastards 5/16"CRS, Hexabastards 5/16"CRS Hex, Shiny Bastards 5/16" 303 st/st, KOABs("KING OF ALL BASTARDS") 3/8"CRS and MOABs("MOTHER OF ALL BASTARDS") 7/16"CRS.

easyWeight Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 So if I'm understanding this correctly, if someone was to bend for example, a 5"x3/8" CRS they'd be dubbed a Magnificent King of all Bastards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Also I have a chart of steel poundages up on my site based on Eric's Calibrations and Scott's original spreadsheet. click on the Bending progression link www.az-grip.com - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 thanks Aaron for the link!! will check it later (for sure) ,no time now:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Aaron : i bend one 1/4"x6" g8 ("LE" on the head). its correct to think this bolt its around 480 pounds? i mean MORE than the bastard?

A direct comparasion is only possible with pieces of the same length. a relative comparasion for a 7" bastard that calibrates say 450# to a 6" G8 that calibrates at 480# would go like this: 450 (7" bastard base number) x 1.1 (10% relative offset to 6.5" standard) x 1.1 (10% relative offset to 6.0" standard) = relative toughness of 7"bastard standardized to 6" or 545# So a better direct comparasion would be (480# 1/4" G8 to 545# 7" Bastard relative offset to standardized 6") and the bastard would be tougher like it actually is. Hope that makes sense. - Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewokhugo Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 very interesting Aaron, i think i got the idea! it would be interesting to know how HARD these bar fells opposite to the calibration results. same with grippers (RNC versus "european system"). i think the g8 1/4"x6" (LE) feels harder than the red nail.
