highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) who makes the best aftermarket 703 crown tube in your opinion? best being most gen like, and precision machined threading Edited October 24, 2010 by highoeyazmuhudee
Dizzy Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 I've always ordered mine from Mr.Slimeball wholesaleoutlet990 but next time i think i will get them from Yuki maybe? I think he has them on his site. Theres a few ebay sellers that have them. Just dont buy from the guy selling that triplock crown tube combo for $15.99 or whatever it is on Ebay. Its not even close to gen size.
chiman12 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 I buy mine from CousinsUK...plus it's relatively quick shipping to Canada I find that other aftermarket 703 tubes are not as "smooth" as the Cousin ones...
freddy333 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 Cousins sells a near-exact (Swiss made) copy of the gen, so that is probably the best. Ofrei sells another Swiss-made version, but the tube is slightly shorter than Cousins'.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Posted October 24, 2010 hmm this is no good. seems to be restricted/unavailable from cousins now http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/0/2350/4189.aspx#select
Prsist Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 Wher can I find a tube for a gen crown?
alligoat Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 hmm this is no good. seems to be restricted/unavailable from cousins now http://www.cousinsuk.com/catalog/4/0/2350/4189.aspx#select Those are the gen tubes, you need the generic. Like Dizzy, I've had good luck with the 24-7030 tubes from Mr. Slimeball. I broke too many of the clark's so I quit using them. Might give Cousinsuk a try if I need any more
jmb Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 The last couple I bought were from Yuki @ 12/shipped and they seem to be very nice.
modelizer Posted October 25, 2010 Report Posted October 25, 2010 +1 on the latest ones from Yuki. Perfect fit for my gen crowns!
