easyWeight Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 I know there is a "Buy/Sell/Trade" section of Gripboard, but this honestly seems like the more appropriate place to ask. I don't want to bother John at FBBC just for two bolts. Unfortunately, I have nowhere else to buy the Triangle brand Edgins, except at Fastenal, in which case the local store only sells up to 6". So, would anyone be willing to Sell or Trade a couple 7" Edgins? I honestly don't have anything harder than an Edgin on hand, but for trade I could possibly get it. Thanks! Quote der Bär My YouTube
MalachiMcMullen Posted April 13, 2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Just go to the front counter at Fastenal and order yourself a box of 8" Edgins. If you can't finish a 7" one off at first, work with 8" stock and you can accustom yourself to the tougher stocks while at the same time destroying any mental barriers you have because you'll be taking down 5/16" G5's. It only took me 2 or 3 weeks to bend my first Edgin and I did it working with 8" bolts and cutting them down gradually. If you can finish a Huge Shiny, you shouldn't have much trouble with an Edgin though. Quote Zach Coulter Goals #1- The Planche
easyWeight Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) Thanks Zach, but as much as I hate to admit it, I can't really afford a whole box of Edgins right now Any money I'd spend on steel right now is being reallocated for an SM competition in two weeks. Hence, why I only want a couple. I'm with you on the 8" thing though. I actually have a couple 8x5/16 G5s that are "JH" brand that I haven't tried yet. But I kind of want some "triangles" also so that I can get a cert. I don't know if it matters, but it only seems right to cert on the same exact bar as FBBC sells. I hope once I'm rested, an Edgin will fall though Edited April 13, 2009 by easyWeight Quote der Bär My YouTube

Thanks Hugo. Actually I'm looking on Fastenal's website right now. I don't know why I didn't think of it before. They sell them singly through there. Not sure why they won't locally. So I'm just going to order a few from them after all. Edit: I recant. The shipping is as much as a few bolts cost! Edited April 13, 2009 by easyWeight Quote der Bär My YouTube
