Somewhat Out of the loop bar wise?

[Bob Hedgecutter]

The GB Pro-Top & Titanium bars I used were very good. Then all of a sudden they seemed to disappear stateside, at least where I was working. Assuming they’re still the same I put them up in the same tier as Cannon & Stihl. Good tips and good, long wearing rails.

The tips are an exact swap out for Cannon tips.........

Cannon uses Oregon style. I believe GB uses the Windsor-Carlton style.

So you cannot buy anything on e-bay? Tarriffs too high?

I believe you are correct, I replaced a few GB sprockets with greasable Windsor ones.

All the GB & Cannon bars I had were all 3 rivet semi circle "key" same as the Cannon bars- did not have the longer tongue, single rivet or 45 degree shoulders of the oregon style.

We can sign up to Aussie, UK and possibly US ebay, but a lot of places/sellers will either not ship here- or charge an arm and two legs to do so- much the same as how it works for us with Amazon.
One of the problems with being a small Island Nation somewhat isolated from the rest of the World.

So it is super expensive from Australia?

Are you all bitter enemies like the U.S. and Canada?

Griffith & Bereens did a joint venture a while back like 10+ years ago where they partners up with a China or Taiwan guy and produced a few runs of cheap homeowner bars. G/B broke off that arrangement and part of the deal was letting their Asian partner keep all the chitty bars. Now all the bars are produced in Australia as far as I know. Quality should be good. The titaniums which aren't really titanium (maybe 3% or something) are damn expensive here, if you can get them at $45 for 18" that is good value.

Huh.

I thought GB was Granberg. Never even heard of Griffith & Bereens.

Same here... lots of outfits flat out won't ship to Alaska, or they will, but want a ridiculous shipping fee.

It's extremely irritating when it's something that makes no sense to not ship or be expensive.

Tried to buy multi vitamins off Amazon earlier this morning.
$10 for 150ct...Amazon Prime
Won't ship to here.

This is very true. I hate those maple syrup dribbling, no gun owning, overly nice people!

They used to sneak across our border and buy cigarretes and beer, and their dictator wears violent socks and sits like a girl!!

If that last name is pronounced with a "ooo" at the end, Im going to puke syrup.

Can be- and can take up to a month to get here.

Yep- when pitted against each other, but put an Aussie and a Kiwi in a bar anywhere in the World drinking together and they will belittle each other until the cows come home, argue about who has the best rugby team (which of course is the Kiwi team!), who owns the rights to Pavlova dessert........ but if one of the locals upsets either, they will get up as a pair and fight the entire bar back to back- it is called the ANZAC spirit.

Granberg is NOT Griffith & Bereens.

 

[MacAttack]

How are the 40+ year old McCulloch bars that constitute most of my chainsaw bars? How do they stack up against a modern bar? I've rarely worn a bar out...
