BigAl Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I am the best basher you will ever seeFraid not, that would be me. Anyway I would be happy to test one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'll happily test one if you want, I've got a 20" and a 24" but with fairly awfull bash's on! One of them is an Echo one which I had a angle grinding accident with! lolI totally see the point in this, I hardly ever hit my bash and only use it to protect my chain on sidehops and when my tyre or brake slips on a wall and I fall onto it unintentionally, so i don't see the point in my running 2 hefty metal bashs when i rarely use it. Even if I don't proto it expect an order from me when your up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the trials mop Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 how have these gone andy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted July 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Having to redesign slightly...the half rings have some melting issues when being machined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I work in a ballistic armour factory so i work with lexan on a daily basis. It will need to be around 12-15 thick to withstand repeated stress. It is very light but does distort quite easily though so it might not be suited to street riders but comp rider will benifit from the weight loss though.

For people concerned with weight in the comp scene, its a good material option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the trials mop Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Having to redesign slightly...the half rings have some melting issues when being machined whats that due to? a heat build up because of the more machining?can you stick some pics up or are you keeping the idea a secret as poss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 yeah andy remember chatting to you bout these just after me buying your coust, get some pics up of these ring or send one out to simp as he lives 5mins from me, got any other products in pipeline?

Mat Smith!! Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Been thinking about these for ages, I'll test one for you and im bit harsh on my bash's so yeah, up to you .Didn't read the whole topic, sorry .

..::littlesam::.. Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 make summet that wont kill walls but is strong so i dont get hairy men threatening to arrrest me........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambo Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Is this the same stuff the old e-thirteens were made of when they were branded evil, my mate had one and it made a great noise when bashed of concrete on the down side it was about 15mm thick?

Al_Fel Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 make summet that wont kill walls but is strong so i dont get hairy men threatening to arrrest me...........It doesn't really work like that mate. You've still got the pedals and cranks doing most of the damage. Bashguards are so small these days that they barely hit anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Im just thinking about the bashring the thickness with the length of the threads on the cranks. As i said really 12mm is probably the least you could get away with. Have you mocked up prototypes? What happened with the machining process? As we machine the windows on ballistic riot shields and we dont have any melting problems.Im just thinking about the bashring the thickness with the length of the threads on the cranks.

Luke Rainbird Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Having to redesign slightly...the half rings have some melting issues when being machined Surely that can be resolved by a whole heap of cooling fluid and slower machining? Obviously if that puts production costs up by much it's not an option, but it might be worth enquiring about on the offchance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 any chance of testing one? ill post up a video if necessary, and im sure i can get a few people to vouch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The protos are being made by a different company, just want to get the principle worked out first. Will see what production costs are going to be afterwards once I know whether I'm wasting my time with the concept.Just a note to anyone else whos asked, all testers have been chosen and contacted. I wish I could let everyone have a free one, but that wouldn't be the best business plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Bump... Really interested in these, been two years. Surely it's been produced by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filo Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 ive mad a few bashies out of lexan. the problem i had was that the sprocket can still turn,this distorts the bashie and leads to stripping the cranks. i learnt the hard way.

Greetings Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 So in short the material is too squeezeable? You'd probably have to use a metal bush in the centre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Holy mother bump batman. Maybe the whole concept was scrapped? Haha yeah, I was using the search tool looking at half-rings and such. Then came across this, I hate "grave digging" but I was really interested and there was no pictures of the final product. Hmm Filo, was that with the full ring or the half ring? And yeah Greetings you're probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
