There is approximately 25cm from the fork eyelet to the bottom of the clearance limiting arch. It’s a strange rack, sits a bit too high on most mid fork eyelets that I’ve seen but is perfect on this odd fork.
Also, that actual riv stick mount is genius. Would do if I had a wire basket
I believe the person who made that pattern posts here or used to but I do not remember their exact username. WILLIAM WHERE ART THOU?
I don’t think Will dR ever posted here but he’s a friend of mine.
Gosh must’ve been one of the other weird bike boards I frequented
Thanks to @Andrew_Squirrel for the files. Printed these pull tabs for the wife’s swift bags.
I can always count on :sadgrant: to give me a hearty actual lol
William de rosset? For some reason I feel like he did?
Not that I know of. I’ve posted his bikes here so he has come up.
I got tired of seeing people unsuccessfully looking for track axles for older zipp discs on all the track groups/sub forums I frequent so I started making them. Hopefully this is the last batch for a while… I’ve been asking a fair price for them but I also like my free time.
Here’s the three I’m working on now after machining the main features.
Here’s a finished one from the last batch next to an original zipp one.
Tarcklebee nom for doing what the OEM won’t.
Seems like you could ask for some more compensation for giving up your free time?
Maybe? Not sure if people would still buy them. I’m asking $100 US each. Something like 2-3 hours per axle and about $15 in materials.
I would charge more like 250-300+
26$/hr + tools isn’t a lot.
How much does a new track disc cost? $800-1500?
Brand new? Maybe $500 for China carbon, $1000-1500 For a ffwd, hed or something. Zipp and campy are $2000+.
I think $300 is probably the point at which someone is more likely to sell their wheel and buy another used one that has the axle or takes one that is still available.
I just checked and a Zipp track axle for the 11s hub is $160-180 depending on what seller. I’ll probably bump it to that next time around.
$100 is a pittance
Folx will pay a lot of money for things you think are dumb
$200+ seems right for this
$199
People invariably charge too little. $199 or $249 atmo
299 free shipping.
420
asking 200 would help balance supply and demand. maybe you like your free time less when it’s less close to free and maybe less of it gets sold to the track nerds when it costs more. win win. except for the track nerds, they don’t win as much (but they still win a little, as a treat)
Man this is the way to think about it. I struggle with this myself because while I like making stuff, I am reluctant to make a business and always feel like I’m charging too much.
