Oh NO! My BIB just broke!

Thats pretty much the same thing that happened to me.

Oh. My one also broke two weeks ago when I was doing hanging. It scared me like my ligs was broken……so scary.

Hey Guys,

Don’t you think that before you advertise your problems here, you should be emailing or PMing Bigger and trying to get it sorted?

Andrew,

No, I appreciate the hanger problems being aired on the forums. Much better for communication, and to get the problems sorted out. IF other guys have problems, they will be more likely to speak up, and progress can be made. Transparency is wonderful.

No worries.

noether,

I will reply to your email and we can get it worked out.

Bigger,

Fair enough!
I agree when you say “Transparency is wonderful”. I wouldn’t like people to get the wrong impression with out first hand knowledge.

noether,

Welcome to Thunder’s!

By the way, how many pounds were you hanging with when it broke?

For the guys that are getting their new parts: Could you let me know when you receive them, and about any problems putting the hangers back together please? Just post in this thread if you wish.

Bigger,

As you may recall, I broke about 3 different starters. You sent me replacements where you opened up the mold a little on the top, making the top area thicker. This made a huge difference and I haven’t broken one since. Is that what you are doing with the replacement halves that you are sending out?

btw - I was watching Bob Costas show on HBO the other day and he had a shock jock on who had been fired from his radio talk show for going to far and being politically incorrect. Bob Costas mentioned a few of the reasons that the guy got fired - one of which was having a guy on the air who hung 25 lb. weights from his penis. My wife was watching, and she just looked over at me and grinned. I told her “That’s nothing! I know a guy who hung 40 lbs. of weights from his dick!”

Bib,

After a few months my bib hanger’s rubber cushioning covering the teeth inside the hanger started to wear down. Now about a year later, the rubber has really worn down and may be the reason I experience some pinching. Can this rubber be replaced?

toid,

>Is that what you are doing with the replacement halves that you are sending out?<

No, the replacement halves I am sending out now are just slightly strengthened Starters.

I am redoing the Starter prototype to make the washer seat on the right side much stronger. Hopefully, when I am through, a Starter will not break again.

I hope you are doing well.

Yes, but you will have to send it in, and I will have to remold it completely. Just email me with the information, and we can work something out.

Got my parts yesterday and after what seemed like two weeks of hanging pause I finally let it hang yesterday :) I am hanging as I type.

Mine is having a little trouble too where the washer rests. I was wondering if the counterbore had a bit of an angle to it if it wouldn’t seat better. Depending on how the halves are clamped together, there can be quite a load driving the washer outward against the thin lip. I think that’s what happened to mine.

It is definately a great product that comes with great service.

Hi, Bib,

I got my new parts today. no difficulty to put them back together. maybe I got little hard time when screwing the new bead to the bolt.

Thank you

here is the picture I took afterward

Hi, Chickenchoker,

Actually, I have come thundersplace since the beginning of last year but I was just a CDROM. I learnt pretty much here and finally decided to buy a bib’s hanger and it works very well.

After two weeks going up to 15 lbs a month ago, it was broken. It maybe because I screw the wing-nut very tightly every time for preventing from sliding, especially getting higher weight over 14lbs.
