randobanjo Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Hi all. Has anyone retrofitted their Black Diamond Turbo screws with the Omega Pacific grinder knobs? Do they fit? Any and all info is appreciated. Thanks... Quote
sobo Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 Yes. No. Well, not really "no" per se, but they don't fit well. Mebbe a spot of crazy glue on the threads, but when they finally fell off, I liked them better without the grinders after all. YMMV Quote
Don_Serl Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 i retroed several of my old BDs this way. take a file to the outer edge of the hanger to let the grinder fit deeply enuf so the threads will bite. cheers, Quote
dbb Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 dang it don, you're going crazy with the files on your ice gear! but I think you may have something there... Quote
chriss Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I too fit some to my BD screws. I took the file to the cheap aluminum knob and not the expensive load bearing screw. Just deepen the slot in the knob. Can use the dremel here. Takes a couple of minutes. Draw back is the clip hole in the screw is not that big to begin with and the knob takes up some of the space. chris Quote
Don_Serl Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 dang it don, you're going crazy with the files on your ice gear! but I think you may have something there... man: the tool-maker... no point leaving something alone when you KNOW it'll work better if you change it, eh? cheers, Quote

Keithish Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 Yeah they work pretty well (few seasons now) if you simply epoxy them in place and leave out the bottom screw-on part (and forget about taking a file to your screw hangers!!) Keith Quote
