then y would they even bother to make a new one?:eyes:

[Awhislyle]

same reason they made the V3 iframe

...Hype

[toothpastedog]

actually the V3 iframe is very different from its predisesor. the new rip valve has one less o-ring which means you never need to clean it-not that you normally would have anyways. that's the difference, and there is, btw, no performance difference between the old and the new. it sure looks like you got the new one. besides, like i, and others said, it doesn't matter, they both work equally as well as one another; meaning better than any other valve.

so then i should assume that the old one needed 3 orings? cuz mine came with 3 orings and i can only find place for 2 and i have an extra

[toothpastedog]

right, i guess you did get the old one. oh ****, i see, i looked at the pictures wrong my bad, still i really doesn't matter whether it is a old one or a new one.

[IwAnNaShOoTyOu]

ok, so i got the old one???


edit: every1 at IOG say that i got the new one...

[toothpastedog]

yeh, i got mixed up with your pics-don't ask how. if you got an extra (very small) o-ring, then you got an old rip valve.

[IwAnNaShOoTyOu]

the extra o-ring is the same size as the other 2

[toothpastedog]

oh, then i guess i didn't get the pictures back wards. i thought you meant that the extra o-ring you got wasn't the same size as the other two that go on the valve. just leave it at that, you got a new one. like i keep on saying, it doesn't matter if you got an old one or a new one, they work just as well as one another.

[IwAnNaShOoTyOu]

ok thanx, ill install it as soon as i get some nitro so i can test right away

[toothpastedog]

cool, good luck.

so it IS hype!>!!>! lol j/k

[sweathogs]

I emailed NDZ. Their website has the picture of the old one.
The picture on pbgear's website is the new one.

So you got the new one.

so i was right. good, now no one needs to post here, everthing has been covered, that is, everything except the spam...:rolleyes: and my double posting...:cool:

[OSUARCHITECT]

wait so what do you do with the extra o-ring 'cause I just got a rip valve and I also have an extra o-ring. I got a new valve that came with 3 o-rings that are the exact same size. I would assume it's just an extra?

[Dark Master]

Yea,its a extra one.Incase you break one or something.

[impy1511]

like i did three times trying to install it luckily i had some lying around to put some on

[OSUARCHITECT]

cool, sry to raise a dead post but I did a search and this was the closest one I could find and it didn't completely answer my question. Anyways its all installed now so all is well.
