Cool story, I disabled that account feature two years ago.

 

Dang bro, this coolest of cool stories was a serious burn. I'll be gone for awhile as the ambulance is now here to transport me to the nearest Burn Unit.

 

I’m curious, did you just come here to shitpost or do you actually have something useful to say? So far your contributions to the thread amount to a sinister accusation that the wheels are cast.

 

Don't make me dust off the 'ol hammer kids. This fred is about a serious issue that could claim someone's life.

*edit:
well hello there

 

Not trying to be an over the top smart ***, but if you really feel it's a serious issue that could kill someone, maybe reach out to the vendor and ask him to respond here?

 

I don't have 6ULs on anything. This aint my pony show. I'm just asking the children to behave and keep this on topic and not turn it into a peeing contest.

 

I challenge you to a pee off!

 

How can it be sinister if its a fact? This isn't news to anyone but you, apparently. What exactly did you think you were getting at that price point?

 

It's a fact, albeit an incomplete one. Its well documented that they have a pressure cast center and a flow-formed barrel, which is a forging of sorts. Simply stating they are 'a cast wheel' is misleading, doubly so as it implies basic gravity casting, which the 6ul are not.

 

Let me clarify something here as I might have come on a bit hard on this issue. I understand that aluminum wheels can crack. I've read of some Konig wheels cracking. I don't necessarily think it's Konig's fault. The larger issue is the manner in which a wheel cracks, does it crack in one or two areas and when found you trash the wheel or does it fail spectacularly and disintegrate? If it's the latter, I'd expect the designer and seller to act as if they are concerned that there might be a potential problem. But that's just me.

Well, flow formed gives an almost forged aspect to the barrel of the wheel, which according to pics is the strongest part of the 6UL. So I can understand why someone might think it isn't a cast wheel It's only the center portion that's traditionally cast.

I'm not a wheel engineer and well make fun of me for posting some links but it seems as if there are no other wheel engineers here either.

 

A flow formed barrel is not a forging of any sort, though their marketing department would sure like you to think it is. Better then a gravity cast wheel does not a forged wheel make. Furthermore, I don't think (I could be wrong) that we've seen any barrel failures - so "flow forming" is largely irrelevant to the actual issue at hand.

 

 

Updated for accuracy.

 

This is the most trash thread I've read in a long time.

 

Agree

 

A shitty resolution pic of a turd in a real shitty thread.

 

I wonder if there is a way for the forum to calculate cat score divided by post count for all users. Could be interesting to see the best and worst S/N ratios.
Im sure there was a n00b that got 20 negcats on their 1 and only post.

 

Whole lot of noise in this thread, mostly coming from people like yourself posting irrelevant things and memes and ignoring cold hard FACTS clearly stated in plain english by myself.

Facts can be inconvenient, at times, but they're not going away.

 

CAN YOU JUST STOP POSTING FOR A WHILE PLEASE

 

You aren't a fan of Dietcock?

This thread jumped the shark dozen posts ago or more.
