Thumbs up I commiserate, Wayne...

...I have recently gotten word from an unimpeachable source that Trigo ordered a large stock of pins which are: 1) too malleable (Sp?) and 2) have to be machiined for EACH fit---truly a nightmare. Oh, forgot to mention---Trigo ordered them from Mainland China------ooooh baby, sooner or later, they ALWAYS try to shave some pennies---another source says look elsewhere for pin-drives (Phil Schmidt at P&S Engineering, Torrance, CA is a master wheelwright) OR wait out Trigo, 'til they sell all their crap pins....
