> [@deebo](#): > > This is almost as bad as when you came into my wheel thread asking if people knew that rotas have been found to break and then showed a picture of some random broken rota First off, what are you talking about? I asked you a question _if_ your wheels were part of that Rota = Bad rap they seemed to have. Not once did I say anything bad about them and I certainly didn’t say your wheels were bad either. Here is my post if you want to read that again: > [@NY: 17X8 +35 Rota Boost 5x114.3](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ny-17x8-35-rota-boost-5x114-3/226087/3): > > Rota’s…?

Meaning, some person is an asshole 24/7 and never lets up. Similar to LZ and J and J. > [@deebo](#): > > Things to ask yourself: > > Do you have any personal experience with pex tubing? > Do you personally know anyone who has had a failure with pex tubing? > > things to know: > There are different kinds of pex tubing for different situations > most pex tubing has a warranty of 25years + > Pex tubing has been around since 1960 working effectively > > things i can assume: > price for job would go up for use with copper because of labor and material costs > if a customer asked for copper to be used I am sure there would be no problem > > failure of pex tubing was found where there was a high chlorine level in the water. there are ways of eliminating this if it is a problem in your area, and it would probably be SAFER for you and cheaper by using only pex tubing and filtering your water vs using copper and keeping all of the chemicals in your water Good information. That is what I was curious about. Not sure where the Rota Thread fell into play. I never once said “Pex is bad” and I never told 1QIKZ “he done fucked up using dat stuff.” He is a professional contractor. If he is choosing to use it even with the pletora of stuff floating around about it being bad I wanted to know why. Similarly, if someone tells you that shouldn’t do something, say Fuck “that” bitch because shes got herp but then you see your best buddy chasing after that…wouldn’t you say “Hey, stay away from that.” Unless you knew someone that fucked her and lived; or else you did and your dick didn’t fall off, I doubt you would let it happen. If you feel some angst from your wheel thread then I apologize for giving you/anyone else the wrong idea.

Makes sense. Any feeling on Shark fittings when splicing into hardlines? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shower-valve/227943)._
