Dammit: Post your bike

Very well. Hard to compare to my road with skinny tires but it rides about infinity percent better than the Cilo with studded tires. (It has 50mm studded in that pic)

[rancid_burple]

Been waiting to see if someone finally made something like that.

I attempted a set years ago, used plastic fenders as the mold. Ended up with the radius not quite right and low torsional stiffness from using 90 deg plain weave. Never got around to trying again. Not a difficult project if you can make a good solid mold. Room temp cure resin and simple compression in the mold is likely adequate for the application.

Dialing in the bars, shakes. Needs lights and fenders too. Bit it rides!!!

that’s an odd looking steel merckx

so a high density foam or MDF buck inside a vacuum clothes storage bag, with either UD or layups at 45°?

[rancid_burple]

At the time I was thinking plywood. But high density foam or mdf would work too.

I got pretty good results with just tape and clamps, no bag. Used mold release wax.

I used 2” wide woven “tape” material, was nice because it had uncut edges but the 0/90 orientation was not ideal. 45 would be better.

45 would also symmetrically stretch/deform around a fender buck in a nice way, compressing the weave at the edges without wrinkling

I like posting bad photos of bikes for you all

“Finished” building it up just before sunset, will get ridden for real tomorrow

[karl_dandleton]

daaaang. that jawn looks mean.

tell me more about using square tubing

@karl_dandleton

tell me more about using square tubing

looks cool, allows for some lazy manufacturing

Gotta get on copyrighting Squazy tube geo

Damn sharty

Thread is killing it!

[frank_doktor]

Looks good.
Most would put the ground control up front and fast track on rear since the gc has a bit more grip and the ft rolls even a bit faster. Though compared to some bigger knob choices the difference may be minimal.

Carbonda 696.

I need fender ideas. I don’t think carbon 700c x 45-50 exist, but that’s what it deserves.

What’s good out there?

Besides simworks, Rene Herse noir is the other honjo rebrand that might fit your specs. The nice thing about light alu is you can finesse the fender line perfectly by squeezing the edges together or pulling apart.

I think I got black VO Zeppelin fenders for the same frameset. They’re still sitting in a box somewhere- I still haven’t installed them yet somehow.

How did I miss this in PYB?

[anon71759125]

Unless it’s the more niche stuff like the flat65 bu I made it work on the Riv (29>27.5)

[Dickason_Daniel]

New garage door, new @Orc rack.

Obed Boundary same frame as Carbonda 696 @Bearpants but I didn’t feel like sourcing parts or running hydros a year ago.
