Juliusthegreat Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I have a question about the frame used for the backpack. It´s suppose to be a 1/2" pipe (the yellow one) and if I convert that into milimeter then it´s 1.27mm and here in Sweden (and maybe most of europe) we only have 16 mm and 20 mm pipes. The 16 mm pipe is that size on the outside and the inner measurement is (the hole) 13 mm. I hope someone can confirm that 16 mm is almost the same as the 1/2" and is the one to use.

pandatrooper Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi Jimmy. I just measured some 1/2 inch pvc pipe here, and the outer diameter is about 22mm. In north america, the 1/2" dimension is the inner diameter. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliusthegreat Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Hi Jimmy. I just measured some 1/2 inch pvc pipe here, and the outer diameter is about 22mm. In north america, the 1/2" dimension is the inner diameter. Hope that helps! That helps alot. I know now I bought the wrong one and need to get the 20mm ones instead. One other problem is the 90 degree angle that´s used in North America (maybe other countries also) can´t be found here . The ones here are not a straight 90 angle but more bent so wires don´t get caught in there. Well thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Not sure if you're ordering other pack parts from Crashmann, but I think he sells a PVC kit for the frame too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
