(...) Yes, the 100x length difference will give a significant balloon effect. I suppose realistically 40cm to 5cm would be a fairer comparison. Set 8868 came with a 5m bundle of pneumatic tube. The use of flex tubing in sets began with sets 8837 (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Black Lego pieces have carbon in them, which is why they don't bleach (see colour debate elsewhere). I wonder if this makes any difference to friction? I don't think there's any difference when I cut up grey or black parts - they all make a (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Alexander, Do you speak Russian? :) If so, please reply me (in Russian :) ), would be nice to find AFOLs in Russia. Do not purchased by myself, by this (Russian) shop has 8479 on sale for this month for about 30% cheaper (~$120). Know nothing (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

I just had my 8479 delivered :) Strange for a 1997 set but one of our biggest online shops started to sell them (new!) about a month ago so I took my chance: (URL) sells for about $155 - $160 USD + delivery which I guess is a good price here for (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Duq- I've not noticed any less friction with the new grey axles. In fact, I've performed a few quick, crude tests and not been able to tell any difference (i.e. I pushed on and pulled off the same bushing on both black and grey axles). Of (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) This type of valve will be used to turn the power on/off (via polarity switch) for the compressor. Instead of needing an overpressure valve, the compressor will be turned off, saving batteries. I think we all agree, sometimes you really need (...) (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) I haven't noticed that. However, I noticed that the new tan axle pins have a significantly weaker pin than the old gray ones. See how easily the wheels come off on the 4404, 8451, 8453... (20 years ago, 23-May-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Lessee, 5m tube vs. 5cm (or .05m) tube...I'd guess something approaching 100x as long? :) I'm guessing you meant to type something a little different there... Anyways, by my eye, the flex-system tube OD is roughly the same as the OD of the (...) (20 years ago, 22-May-04, to lugnet.technic)
