In reply to: In reply to: Yeah, most of it was in one hit. I had to split my orders to get it through customs without paying tax. I ordered it from the US (saving at least 30% on local prices). I've had it for a month or two. All the small stuff has been used. Mainly the rocks, micros and zeros where I climb. All thanks to my student loan :wink: customs is rubbish. But one hit would be a LARGE sum of money!!! Student loans are an interesting thing....especially when you spend them on "school" and "educating yourself" how do you like them there zeros???
Yes, I'm glad I didn't waste my loan on anything silly like that. :lol:
The zeros are great. I had a Z3 but it was too small for my liking. I tried placing it once then sold it. I haven't climbed with any other small cams so I don't know how these compare. I don't think it really matters. I'm sure I would like aliens if I had chosen them instead.

In reply to: I was going to give his post a trophy until I saw that :shock: BD :shock:! :lol:
I know, I know. I got it second hand for a price I couldn't resist. I haven't used it and I probably won't. Hopefully I can get rid of it before it infects my friends :lol:

thanks for the response. You may not need those small cams when you have the ballnutz. Those things are great.

You can't embed pictures in the new RC format. I guess that kind of ruins a 'Rack Pictures' post.

Well. I don't have a pic handy just yet, but I guess that suits things pretty well now.
i just bought 7 cams, 13 carabiners, 2 sets of stoppers and a gear sling for $140
it is oficial. I am a gear whore.
(Cams I had other sizes in. I have a set of stoppers already. Although I was i the market for another) I just ouldnt pass it up. I figure that some extra cams are always nice now that I live within a few hours of the creek.
Now I am up to 22 cams. 3 sets of stoppers (BD, WC, DMM) 12 quickdraws, 10 'trad draws', set of hexes (which I still like) a few tri-cams and other assorted wankery.
