that NBR dude Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Afternoon all,Lets get right down to it. I'm looking for some people to test out a product for me. I'd prefer people of varying styles (20"/26"/street/comp) to give me some feedback on concepts and any flaws/design tweaks needed.So, I'm looking for 4 people to test a prototype bashing, designed to work with 18tooth screw on sprockets. There will be 2 types, full ring and half ring, so would like 2 people to test each one. At the moment, I dont have any pics or anything as they are going into the workshop during the week to be made, so just judging interest. I aim to get the prototypes available within the next week or so, depending on the workshops load. The difference with these bashrings is they are made out of Lexan (similar to acrylic), an incredibly strong yet light weight plastic. The full ring is around 20grams and the halfring around 10grams. These are designed more for the UCI market as a light weight precautionary measure, however I'd like to see how these will hold up on street as well.If anyone would like to give one a go, let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would post a video but its like a year old, You've seen me ride a few times before though.Yea I did have you in mind actually Connor. Having seen you ride at the DJ ride, you've got loads better since i last saw you.if its like acyrilic then wont is just smash as acyrilic is extreamly brittal.That's what the prototyping stage is for, to find out. From what I can find, Lexan should be less brittle than acrylic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Its a UCI one? I'm nothing to do with this, but why advertise that you're not within the intended customer group?

sstein Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Just so you people know Lexan plastic is of a similar sort of strength to it's equivilant thickness in bullet proof glass. That is why they use it in programs like mythbusters as a protectice screen when using explosives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 (edited) I'll test the full ring, not smooth enough for half ring Let me know Andy! Edited June 16, 2009 by Ross Gardner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I hope all these people realise that they will have to remove their current freewheel/sprocket off the crank? An obvious thing but i know it's not the easier thing in the world. I'm not looking to test by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
