Just a quicky mainly for the benefit of Rick. I fitted a Husky roller chain catcher to my 7900 the other week and forgot to post photos. The spikes I rigged up to fit it ages ago are Husky HD and they were as hard as all hell. After moving house I haven't been able to find my ARTU bits to drill any high tensile steel so gave a carbide tile/glass drill a go. I have a new friend It absolutely chewed through the spike but had to be careful not to bust it up on breakthrough.
This roller catcher setup clears noodles way better than the old setup - I've heard 7900's called "Noodle Monsters" before but to be honest they're the worst saws I own for clearing noodles...

Thanks for the heads-up on a roller guide. I mentioned in the Aussie thread about possibly using longer spikes to help keep the clutch cleared of noodles, but after looking at the distances required I figured I would loose too much useable bar length.

Then I spotted the lower bolt that attached the spikes. Hmm, maybe something could be constructed at that point to clear the noodles. I was thinking through several permutations of 'blocks' and the like, but didn't like the physics if it took an impact by the chain. I never considered a roller chain guide. I think that could be do-able.

Thanks Matt.

Matt, which Husky model ? 390 ?

and is it normally mounted in double shear, or only single shear as you've done above ?

Hi mate. These are simply the OEM Husky HD double spike kit that fit the 365-390 models. Nothing fancy but the 2nd best set of spikes I've used behind the stock MS660 spikes.

Only one ring, only one side, thats how huskaroo rolls.

Yeah, they work alright. Some guys have fitted the stihl roller to dolmars but I think they have to be shortened a little to fit.

Don't order any mate, I'll send you a couple of Chinasaw versions...

Thankyou for the support Rudy. I've going to give Rick and Al a bit of time out in the "ignore them" corner...
