hutch stem help!

<< < (3/4) > >>

CustardLips:
Nothing at all wrong with that mate.  :daumenhoch:

raddad:
Cheers all! I just wondered if anyone had seen any other Hutch stem oddities...I will now sell it along with other gubbins.......anyone got any ideas how much a pair of Hutch beartraps with freestyle inserts go for?

Cheers,
Jim

HUTCHMAN:
think I get it now.. your querying the fact that the shaft is not machined off 90 degrees square (for the wedge)  to the body of the stem... i.e it's off of the centre line ???  hope that makes sense.

raddad:
Hell yeah brother! Its bloody hard to describe for some reason though isn't it.? Alls well with the stem but I reckon its a factory second or simply up to the usual Hutch quality control...don't get me wrong I love and drool after Hutch as much today as I did in '83 but they aint leaders in consistent high standards....just high prices.
A bit like Alfa Romeo.

In fact new thread alert...if BMXs were cars........Hutch-Alfa, Mongoose-Ford, S.E-Chrysler....etc...

HUTCHMAN:
I've got 4 or 5 Hutch stems(bought brand new, many, many years ago)..  they're all like that. Doesn't matter of the alignment in this instance.. you don't see it and doesn't affect the stem in any way.  :daumenhoch:
