Cd28 bobstay help

Post by arch007 »

Right now the bobstay wire is 0.25 in. Is this good enough ?

I am replacing current swaged fittings with staloks.

What is the turnbuckle size i need ? Apparently there is left hand and
Right hand turnbuckle? Which one should I get ? Thread size ?

Thanks.

According to the CD28 manual I have, the Bob stay should be quarter inch by three foot six. Looks like you have the right weight of wire. Not sure about the connections. My CD28 has no Bob stay, just a large stainless steel support!
