Tartridge

Thats fair to say :( Shame theyre all such massive files though! Keep a look out for TartyBikes version 3 if you like pics :P"

'VIZ STEM STOCK AL2014-T6 120mm 20¢X front 4 bolt for trial VIZ COG-RING 20 Teeth for 5 bolts CNC VIZ CARBON BOOSTER for 4 bolts trial' Not massively helpful in my opinion!

:( The colour is more of a champagne/faded gold colour, thats a poor picture :P

No. Well, text too :ermm:

Neither of those bars come in silver, unfortunately...

What clamp size are you after? Adam

My 2.5" Hi Roller = 56mm deep and 60mm wide on a 38mm rim (Y) Cant fault the tyre :) Hope thats of some use, Ads

All very nice, but the head and tail of it is that current bonded steerers still break easily (Y)

I know that - i was probably wrong there, sorry, what do civils build? Cakes? Bike parts are aluminum and steel, and not subject to dead loads - so its totally pointless to use that factor? The point here is making a stronger fork, not a stiffer one? We cant quanfity the max force yet though, so its also useless. It could be done, but theres not enough money in trials to justify it. That too (Y)

See, street basher :P" :P Just messin (Y) Thats the best way to test things :D

Safety factor varies from 1.1 for aircraft, to 13 for civil engineering type structures, as im sure you know, but which one should you use? Where did 1.4 come from? Bike parts arent subject to dead loads. Also, its all very well testing these forks for failure - but we know they will take that. Fatigue is what destroys undamaged aluminium bicycle parts though (mostly). 'The only forces that will affect the steerer bond are the ones adjacent to it' What about direct tension? Torsion? None of these companies can be bothered to work all this out, its much easier to just slightly overbuild the fork, and then give it to a street basher for a few months. Another thing - why not just sack the bond off altogether? Its obviously crap!

How much force does the average rider put through a set of forks though? And in which direction? How do disc/rim brake forces add to/oppose this? And how many cycles at each level of stress do forks go through during their lifespan? All these questions are impossible to answer (at the moment), so the best way of testing forks is to give them to Rossi and have him ride them for a few months (Y)

The best helmet is still the one that fits you!

Nah, you want some 'bamBOO!' riser bars! *hangs head* sorry (Y)"

Yup - bamboo is amazing stuff... Google it if you wanna know more (Y)

Edd's not the Shah of Persia! Boo (Y)

It wasnt the greatest rim ever, thats for sure. Didnt help that Mark Anthony sent the wrong rim though... (which meant incorrect spoke lengths and poor tension - Ben just wanted to ride it though). Yeah, but he still ran 521s, lol.

Good question to ask (Y) Others to go with it: How long have they been out? How many sets are there in use? And how many of those sets are being used by Dan Ko's mates/people sponsored by Viz?

You bloody wish :P Mine erm, its my pimp, wearing some rather cool glasses :P And she's the bestest :) My wife to be (give it 10 years or so (N) ) Edit: Wife is such a weird word...

As far as im aware, you can go in anywhere you like (N)

Haha... Expert for me unfortunately (N) Death: coming soon to a tart near you...
