RE: Who wants good Retracts?
It seems that half the complaints about what's already available have to do with the strut and not the mechanism. Mike what do you use for the strut and how does it attach? It seems that in order to mass produce the gear you have to offer a universal strut that the user can modify. In order to modify it needs to be soft enough to bend and then it turns springy or bendable. If it is hardened so you avoid these problems the consumer won't easily be able to customize it for a particular application. Maybe we can teach everyone to heat treat the strut, HAW!
