No they weren't - I posted the photos, you can't even look at a thread and
tell if it's cut or rolled.

And I see that you are back to using profanity as a refutation of fact.
You done *that* before, it's true...

Alternately, one could get the education, do the practice, qualify
for, take, and ace the exam for a Professional Engineer's license, and
get licensed in a couple states. That's what I did.

How about you?

Name yet _another_ one? Previously, I gave links to several companies
casting many bike parts. And it takes only one counterexample to
disprove your claim that no bike parts are cast.

But here's yet another one: http://www.asiancastings.com/bicycle_parts.htm

do you also think the mood is made of cheese? because if you don't know
better, you wouldn't be able to say otherwise.

bottom line, yes you can. or rather, if you know what you're looking at
you can. ignorance and inexperience don't allow you to misstate facts.

"ass" is hardly much of a profanity. btw, who used that word here first?

You mean like in that photo of the guy pouring molten metal from a bucket

You misspelled my name.

You cannot support the claim about the relative sizes of H2 and He.

It's not an easy ticket to get punched. But, to repeat the question:
How about you? Registered PE, or no?

Well, _one_ of us doesn't know what casting is, that's for sure!

Indeed, we have, back when you previously lost the argument.

So, where on that page does it use the word "thixoforming"?
Alternately, what sources do you have that claim investment casting is
not _casting_?

One of my bike friends is a manager of a company that investment casts
turbine blades. He'd be astonished to learn that what they do is
somehow not casting!

Winning and losing? H2 and He molecules are the same size.
Their van der Waals b parameters are 2.65e-5 and 2.34e-5 m^3/mole
respectively. Nothing like much larger as you said.

so that's why they have different diffusion rates??? tell me, what are

Funny! jim beam asks for "a single cast bike component." I
provide him with a single cast bike component - the very one I'd
linked to in the previous post.

But we don't hear "Well, OK, that is a casting after all; I was
wrong." Instead, we get a demand for a cast part on _my_ bike.

What's next, jim, a demand for a cast part on the front half of my
bike? A cast part on the front half of my bike between 20" and 30"
above the ground? A cast part facing due north?

People are also supposed to be real specific about whether
they're engineers or not. Until it turns out I am, and you are not.

Here's another link:

Note the cast brake levers, brake lever bodies, brake arms, and
pedals.

Oh, and I've got several bikes. Each of those components I just
mentioned are on at least one of my bikes.

Not that it matters much. Your original claim was "No bike parts are
cast."

But you still don't have enough class to admit you were very, very
wrong. Again.
