basilisk wrote: I guess I was really asking is what difference does it make? DMM changed either the physical size, or changed the numbering system. Either way it's the same geometry (so they claim at least). So instead of getting upset you could have just placed a numerically lower nut. soooo what's the problem? They did not change the numbering, it's still #7-11 for the Alloys. The problem is that they did change the size in one dimension and, hence, the geometry. That in turn has changed how they place and the 'problem' is it did not improve them, rather it degraded them. It certainly isn't about a case of being able to 'just place a numerically lower nut - it's about unnecessarily tampering with something folks have long been used to, changing expectations around what pulling one off your rack means (what '#9' means), and in general, just not screwing up a perfectly good thing. And don't even get me started on having had to epoxy the wire onto the nuts in order to make them functional (cleanable) at all...
