Hello,

Has anyone notice a designchange in part 15279.

See attached pictures.

The hole is now perfectly round on 1 side of the part.
Type of plastic also looks changed.

Anybody got any insight?
Doe this require a new catalog entry?

It might be worth a catalog note stating this in the item's description.
Can a Technic pin be inserted into the large hole on both types of parts? If
the older style did not allow this but the new style does allow this, then that
would be a valid reason to add a note for this item in it's catalog entry.

Cheers ...

It’s a 3.2mm hole (for 3.18mm bars)

Looking at the first image, the older part might be the one on the right. I reckon
the OP should clarify which is which.

Note to SylvainLS: Please trim unnecessary quoting when replying. I almost completely
missed your reply in all the quoted text. Many thanks for reading and responding.

You're kidding right? You spend a lot of time on this Forum answering questions
in an authoritative way with varyingly accurate answers. And now you are correcting
the Forum etiquette of our Forum Moderator? Wow. You know, there's room here
for lots of kinds of people and helpful responses are always desired, but you
really go too far.

Thanks Jen, but there’s no offense taken on my part: written words can sometimes
read harsher than they would sound, we (I certainly ) can be corrected and
I could have snipped a bit more.

(Also, did you see you posted at 09:37?  The (EDT) LEGO hour! )

Ah, okay! Thanks for the gentle reminder. I seem to be taking a lot of things
the wrong way this morning.

My apologies to ghyde if I came across as way too harsh!

I am going to add 09:37 to my list of great times during the day with 12:34,
and 10:32 which is my house number.

Old French wannabe comedians like me have another one: 12:06 (midi six
/ meeDEEseeth, “noon 6”), and we call it “Catherine,” because of Catherine de
Médicis (pronounced meDEEsee(th), de’ Medici in Italian)

They both ''fit'' a bar, the new one (left) they reinforced/perfected

So it does not only fit, but looks designed to fit it.

The fact they have made it a proper hole with a flat rim looks to me like there
is a reason for this change.

It may just be the picture but it looks like they have also added ridges inside
for friction / clutch power?

Can you provide a closer/more detailed look at the hole?

Thanks (we've been waiting for this one to show up)
Paul.

Hello,

Making a macro pictures sadly is not working with my phone, seems that app developers
take more care in stupid fuctions for socials then a simple zoomed in picture.

But yes you are correct there are ridges in the hole for better grip on a bar,

Hopefully just a note. There is no functional difference. Imagine trying to tell
them apart when they have playwear!

The catalog admin team unanimously decided not to add a new version of this part
to the catalog after further discussion. Instead, the alternate item number 2659
was added to 15279.

Cheers,
