Is that headset missing its lock nut or are my eyes being weird?

Looks like the cheapo type that just has a serrated area for the cone nut and hex for lock nut.

I stripped my Ripmo down for powdercoat. I only broke 2 linkage bushings in the process. I’ll call that a success.

Do they go to Pacific Iron and Metal? If yes, I have a bone to pick with you

I have no idea. They go into the bin with all the other metal shit we throw out including stuff that’s painted and powder coated. It’s not my choice where it goes unless you want me to also just put it in the garbage.

Oh, I’m just being a smartass. They’re one of my clients and those chips are impossible to maintain at the facility.

Here’s a great photo of the “before”; we have since developed a better plan than just stockpiling them. They now stay in the bins until they’re crushed into aluminum hockey pucks.

Mine are all mixed chips, aluminum, stainless, titanium,mild steel all in one tangled mess. I do such small quantities of a particular thing even separating metal from plastic is more trouble than it’s worth.
