Lol, all good. the crown is pretty massive. it’s actually part of the reason I chose it. think it looks nifty. but yeah you could be completely correct about the crown tube. could just be aesthetic. I would feel better if it was a bend preventative method though. ether way thanks for the reply!

The stem is actually pretty fragile. That onion crown needs the tube for support from getting knocked off.

Yeah that would make sense. just a bit of support to keep the crown from popping off if bumped. thanks for the reply.

i actually took this photo in Position 2 (time setting position) because it was easier to get a photo of the crown tube that way. this is it when it’s pushed in. it’s absolutely a push/ pull
