BlogMeet Photos?
...Later. I spent too much time on laundry and fooling with the Sistema. Old grip screw bushing out, best of my removed old ones in, this time with Loctite (purple). We'll see how it does. If the grip slips, I'm gonna put a shim under it.
Just make sure your purple Loctite is actually purple. For a while they put Red Loctite in a blue tube with a little label saying 'Red' and the Blue in a red tube labeled 'Blue'. Almost caused a friend to permanently bond some wheel nuts but we gave him the heads up and he got them cracked off before it set.

"I saw to what extent the people among whom I lived could be trusted as good neighbors and friends; that their friendship was for summer weather only; that they did not greatly propose to do right; that they were a distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions."

By all means, the Sistema must come first!
Um, see, I sort of borrowed the Loctite from Handsome Dave's workbench....

I think they straightened it back out now.
...It's howlin' purple as it comes out. I'd'a used red happily but we had purple and it is supposed to do better with fine threads.
