But bitching about it is like the people who get a 4-way/8-way stick and ---smurfette--- about rotating the restrictor. You knew what you were getting going in. |

It's not like I don't like Randy's products... I pimp his stuff all the time. I simply expressed the issue that I came across and why I sold my wheel. Now is this where you're going to tell me what my opinions are and how I should express them? I guess you're right... I sold my wheel for no reason what so ever... it was all in my head. I apologize. BTW: No one listens to me anyway... |

I don't think its a argument to be honest. He does have a point about the screw thread and swapping out how ever like randy has said there over coming this problem. I personally find it a complete pain in rear having to use a hex to remove the top off my spinner. But then again its not some thing i experience a lot because i don't use a Wheel. It would be a nice feature to have but If i got one i would annoyed after a few hours of my kids asking for it to be swapped over left right and centre as they scroll though each game on mame. So that option will never come into play for me as i don't even what to think about the nightmare that this would cause in my own home. --- added ---- Look at the guns out on the scene .. people have problem with LCD screen and light guns. there is a answer called the LCD light gun but its not perfect. So people are coming up with new ways to fix that problem by inventing new solutions to the problem. No one is nagging about it and people receive praise for there inventiveness in solving the problem. Same goes for the spinner. There is old school and there is new school and simplicity is the way forward to bring new members and new talent to the scene. |

I'd suggested to Randy in the past to create a spinner top with a rubber center where the hole is drilled just a wee bit smaller than the shaft. That would solve the problem... Evidently there's not enough of a market or Randy would likely have done such a thing. No big deal. |

The wheel is held on by it's own weight, and close fit of the hole to the spinner shaft. RandyT --- End quote --- Too bad the same can't be done with a spinner knob. Just have it held on with a close fit of the hole and its own weight. Then they could be swapped out without having to use a hex nut to tighten it down. |
