What studs to use?

[chadman]

What studs are you guys using in your 1.25 ripsaws? My dad has extreme max stainless but they don't seem to last that long so we might go to woodys gold diggers. They are pretty spendy though, is there any place that they are a little cheaper or do we just have to pay?

In 2006 replaced all Woody’s with

2007, 1800 more miles
Bent: 4 slightly.
Broken: 0

Guess I don't get to use that warranty.

I used the standard V pattern down the middle and it has worked fine.

I'm afraid of the tall nuts because if and when the stud bends or breaks it could be very tough getting that nut off.
