East Hill

thats very confusing. i want beerman to answer my question or expat.

You mean the distilled wisdom of the Classic & Vintage forum is not good enough?

East Hill

far to much for me to understand. i need it dumbed down a notch. maybe 3 notchs. i have my moments of being bright but this not one of them.

haha, i didnt even look at them and i know i wont understand it.

I would assume they are all different process for heat treating or welding the metal. Or just different companys from different countrys. You also forgot to mention the best of them all 41 thermal, and SuperTherm and 4bake!

In addition to 4130, there is another hard-to-find CrMo called 4435.

The numbers are the percentages of Chrome and Molybdinium.

4130 is 4.1% Chrome and 3.0% Molybdinum.

you lost me at 4435

4.4% Chrome, 3.5% Molybdenum.

i got that, but he didnt expalin anything about it.

like what molybdenusumsm is

A metallic element.

Yeah...well guys...

My bikes metal...and i ride it...

Wohooo.

4.4% Chrome, 3.5% Molybdenum.

That's right.

There are two different spellings of Molybdinum, Molybdinium, depends on what side of the Atlantic your English is spoken.

Same goes for Aluminum, Aluminium.

4435 CroMo is an aircraft alloy, which ,IIRC, is used extensively in the Air Force's new F-22 Fighter Plane.

4435 is only slightly better than 4130. A bicycle alloy known as Columbus SL is was better than either.

That's a big order!

do you have the threads saved? if I forget where they're at (in C&V) I just wait about a month...someone will ask again!

No, I don't have them saved, I just ran a search for "Reynolds" restricted to C & V...that's not even half of them.

East Hill

like what molybdenusumsm is
a whaa?

i just foudn out my friend has a welder and electric sander.

my frame is in for a treat.

I need goo-be-gone or something to get my stickers off... I would do the whole hairdryer thing but a lot of my stickers are in pieces.

pics.

i'll send you some goo-be-gone if you send me some reeces puffs.

possibly. I need to see if my faulty charger decided to charge my battery.

EDIT: My house has no cereal at the moment. I'm in desperate need of Cap'n Crunch.

read other post

read my edit

trade?

my cap'n
for your puffs??

I got chex. Haha.

crispix > chex

trade?

It's an accord.

*accord is a fancy word I learned from Pirates of the Carribean*

EDIT: cap'n crunch > the world

honda > accored

(please no one turn this into a huge car thread with people nameing every kind of car they think is better then every other car)


anyways...accord = deal?

word.

and word again.

I have a 1988 Honda Accord DX. What kind of car do you have mude? Oh wait, none?


ZINGGG111111!!!!111

aight, pm me your address, i'll pm mine, and we'll both enjoy our cereals within a week


tmowery - legally do I own a car? nope. Do my parents have a car that they are going to let me drive the moment i get my liscense because we have 2 extra cars, yep. are they better then an 88 Accord? tons.

You obviously didn't read the last two posts... Mude is my age, chances are, he doesn't have a car. My family has 8 cars, and technically, I don't even have a car.

EDIT: Mude, you could just take a field trip over here and bring your cereal. We can go out to lunch and supply our own food.

when i get my liscense it will be one of the first things i do.

but in the meantime..

There's this sick breakfast place to go to as well.

post pics.

I have a 1990 Ford Taurus station wagon. It's pimp.

You know, I should mention soy-milk to my husband! He's lactose-intolerant, so he already buys the Lactaid stuff.

East Hill

Muscle Milk if you want to grow up to be jacked like me.

Never heard of it---ummm, what's in it? It won't make me grow parts that are not normally female equipment, will it :D ?

I like Honey Nut Cheerios. But unfortunately my braces got tightened, or a new wire whatever you want to call it yesterday. So it's going to be soup for the next week. :(

Children's Tylenol doesn't work. I took like 7. My grillz hurt yo.

Ow. I am always so happy that I never had to have braces :D .
