could that be fitted to an essram crank? you uh… gonna be selling them?

[LASER_BEIGE]

@igor

new ring styles too

Ring style or mount style?
Edit: bcd&bolt designation or spider mount

[drwelby]

And the big ring is the spider for the small ring?

[drwelby]

Also, is there a reason to prefer SRAM over Cinch?

[igor]

easier and wider availability of aftermarket rings tbh. We’re doing 1x and single speed too. and unique ring designs both classic and modern styling. We’re looking to make a whole ecosystem with synergy and ball park and holistic and buzz word.

We’ll have 3 double chainring counts, a few 1x, and a few single speed.

[igor]

Yes, the inner bolts to the outer and the outer bolts to the spider

[Master_Stabby]

…s a 74bcd outer and inner ring and the spider is SRAM direct mount. Kinda like a new-age 50.4!The fork is a Ti sample to try out how things feel and function. I am really liking it so far. Looking to price aggressively as a carbon fiber alternative w 3 pack, rack, and fender mounts.Ps. the crank is a 1off fully cnc’d to test everything before forging. We’re developing new ring styles too. v excited.

so what does the Ti get you a steel or carpet fiber fork doesn’t do?

[drwelby]

Very cool, an all-74 bcd crank is something I’ve been wanting to see

[igor]

Just as lightweight as carbon with all the dingle mounts without any worries about breaking or corrosion. I’ve seen a lot of carbon breakages in my day.

[anon3547885]

If I were in the market for a new bike or that type of bike this would all be pretty exciting. Looks good!

We’re looking to make a whole ecosystem

Does this mean “we’re looking to make our own standards”

Because what cranksets need is another standard

Edit because the OX(X)01 was a fantastic crankset that almost had it right but rings are expensive and unavailable

[igor]

nope. still 68mm 24mm threaded. so if you wanted to, you could use a hollowtech bb. The ecosystem (tongue in cheek) would be like you can have a bunch of double chainring options, 1x options, and single speed options, and in silver and black. But if you wanted to get something else, like oval, you just get a ring that uses a Sram direct mount spider.

[drwelby]

Maybe process/testing is better, but sooo many of the 29er Ti forks from the Y2ks cracked.

[LASER_BEIGE]

What his name spectrum cycles has a ti fork thread on velosal that is mostly negative

[igor]

yea these are better. they’ll all go through proper EN or ISO testing.

[drwelby]

Same two-piece welded steerer as the Bearclaw?

[igor]

this one is, but we’re still figuring out exactly how ours is going to be done

If you need someone to test a 1" threaded model for an older PV I know a guy

I mean carbon forks also pass the tests…

I’d trust a carbon fork over a ti fork any day.

Whether it’s carbon or ti or anything else it’s only ever going to be a sample of forks getting tested to the standards.

So sure the design and materials are fine if they pass testing and the welds on the samples must be good. Welding ti is not easy though, fatigue cracks in the HAZ kill ti stuff.

IMO making carbon forks in a mold is more foolproof than welding ti forks from a consistency of quality perspective.

The amount of CT and crap Canyon did was crazy to have liability assurance for their forks.
