Why do you think your old ball nuts are better than the new ones sold by Camp MSRP $50, and by Trango MSRP $40 ?

The original Lowe Balls were made* by me when I was at Lowe Alpine. Steve Byrne made a few proto sets but if you every bought a set with solder faces from a store, those were made by Lowe Alpine. We only made them for 6 months that way then went to the copper face.

Yeah, solder is soft and bites well but it has 2 fatal flaws. First, it has less than half the shear strength** of copper. We found than in parallel or slight flares the solder would shear through and allow the piece to fail at much lower strengths than the copper face.

Second, lead solder has a much lower coefficient of friction than copper does. The stuff is just plain slippery.

I think the original Byrne/Metolius Sliders worked with solder because they had a very long slab of the material. BallNutz have about 1/6th the surface area to work with. If any of you have a well-used set of Sliders around look at the solder faces. I bet you'll see tracking marks where the rock pulled through the solder slab before catching.

True, with the copper, it is more important to set the piece with a sharp tug than it was with the solder but the resulting placement is much stronger.

Climb safe,

• I didn't actually make them. I "caused to have manufactured" as the lawyers like to say. Rev-1 Lowe Balls were manufatured by Collins Machine shop here in Boulder.
• *Sorry I don't have my materials book here so I can't give you the numbers. I'll post up later if I have time when I get to work.

PRICE DROP ON ALL REMAINING CAMS.

PS Tom, the lowe balls sold for full price, and the buyer was stoked.

Dropped prices again. Get some.

DM'd for the 0.1, 0.2, and 5.
