GB "Titanium" bars

KiwiBro · 17th November 2010, 07:30 PM

Anyone know where I might find Tsumura sprocket nose kits? .375 x .063. I am having a hard time tracking these down. The bar is so freakishly good, I'd be gutted if I can't find a spare tip. There's a few .050/.058 tips floating about but I'm not sure if I can get away using those for .063 gauge. Does anyone know?

Yeah don't run the .050"/.058" tips mate on a .063" Tsumura. These bars have very tight tolerances and you'll run into trouble (just tried running .063" chain through a .050"/.058" Tsumura tip and it's a bit too tight for comfort).

Cheers Matt. Just found some bloke who got a few of the right gauge so that's great, I'm sorted now.

Every time I've thought the same thing lately, it's been accompanied by a panicked sensation of having to stop using it if the tip fails. That would suck b/c it's the shizzle.

Yeah I've heard the odd guy in the states has had trouble sourcing the Tsumura tips but they're easy to get here in all guages.
