It’s just shiny housing there’s some chrome looking housing on the wife’s bike, I’m sure that’s the same stuff just a different color. Like this…
oogens has it, brass hobby tube so the link housing liner can run continuous instead of ending at the handlebar
basically i’m making cable setup the largest possible pain in the ass
lame.
I did a thing. rear rack modified for front use
bought a 10$ mtb rear rack from the non-profit shop, and a babby hacksaw from the dollar store
after I cut the tombstone off I bent the cut outter rails into a tombstone and mounted the tang
still gotta strip the rest of the paint/powder and blast a few more holes for the tang & fender but it’s already super solid.
11$ well spent
why not buy a front rack for like $20
no canti posts on there
well it was originally for my beater mtb but it fit poorly so it was languishing in my spares. Sure it’s ugly and the tombstone is fucked rn but for 11$ and 30minutes of install I’m stoked on it.
but the real answer is that in too much of a cheapskate

Soma and MEC make a front rack that is basically exactly that. Blackburn and Vetta think used to too.
Hey PNW - I’m looking for a 3D printer for someone to make pieces that are <1cm sq.
Anybody have any leads?
edit: i have all the drawings in all the different file types
I took a tour of this place when I was down in Portland a couple years ago.
Have you checked to see if you can use their machine?

Also, if you don’t want to go there I do have access to a couple ABS 3D printers at work. Resolution is 0.01
I’ve never printed any personal stuff but I could potentially break some rules.
I owe you for sending that amazing batrape
Are you looking to buy an actual 3D printer or contract a service? If the latter…
There’s this place: http://www.shapeways.com/
I’ve passed this place in Seattle many times: http://studiofathom.com
i sent jimmy some files
we’ll see what happens
Finished up this frame bag for next week’s pukeathon. It’s bonded marine vinyl coated polyster, so it should be totally waterproof with no seams to leak. The seams are also on the outside so I can extend the side panels out into straps with some velcro underneath. This means none of the seams are really load bearing either. It has a sort of labyrinth seal under the flap, so it’s kind of like a roll-top but not.
There’s some contrasting top-stitching just in case my vinyl adhesive isn’t up to snuff.
Next up is a quick buttrocket in the same construction.

I should try to convince you to make some .83 headbadges / seat tube badges

Seconded
Third iteration on these. Curved the handle, flipped the teardrop to curve outboard when mounted on bar ends, closed over the top of the slot. Original simplex SLJ handles for reference
I think this nails the range of motion
next phase is to make the whole shebang, mounts and an index/friction mechanism, work in progress
I am impressed!

Retrofriction action works but I need to experiment with different friction materials
Indexing action is promising but needs to be a lot stronger and get fine tuned on cable pull
Whole package needs to be a lot smaller but I have some ideas for that
Also, this ridiculous mudflap
