My new Vulcan V2 gripper

I can't wait to give it a good test later :D

  1. Played around with a couple of parallel set closes. Using the Crom spring that the V2 was supplied with wasn't bad. My biggest issue with it is the spring is just a bit to short making the adjustments amazingly difficult. I had to use a bent gr8 bolt to shimmy and lever the spring up. Might be that the chrome bites the squared edges a bit to. I'm thinking about hitting the notches with a rat tail file to help with this.

  2. I put on my black spring after this at level 12. After fighting with the set I managed 5 fairly easy reps.

    The handles didn't take chalk well so I applied some liquid chalk and let it dry. Seems to have worked okay.

    So far I like it. It'll take a couple of little break in workouts and some minor filing and she should be pretty slick.
