sstein Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I am bored so I have started to design some stuff that I may or may not make, at the moment I am thinking of making a tensioner, disc rotor and maggie lever. Other suggestions are welcomed.Any way I have some initial designs of the rotors and I want opions and suggestions: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Looks good.But with a disk like that, i can only imagine some stress points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 What did you use to design that.A CAD program, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 I don't really see the point in custom rotors, because in practicality its never going to be as good as bigger companys who can send $$$ on stress tests, heat disipation etc and product development. The only advantage is asthetics, and anyone who buys something based purely on that is a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other suggestions are welcomed.Any way I have some initial designs of the rotors and I want opions and suggestions:just a heavy gusset rotar ,looks cool though Edited July 20, 2009 by Jamie_Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 id sack any ideas off for the rotars, i believe hope heat treat theres i think im not sure if all rotars are or if its a must though. and like said they won't be as good as the big companys. your best bet is with things like tensioners ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted July 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 +1. Crack happy as it stands.How do you mean, what should I change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 How do you mean, what should I change?Every single sharp point and angle in there will be a stress raiser and possible crack initiation site. They ought to all be changed to include a radius instead. But yeah, with regards the rotor itself, probably worth just buying a Gusset R-Series and being done with it... My guess is that if you made that you'd end up with a distorted disc likely to crack when used for a prolonged period.No reason not to go for a tensioner, brake lever, booster, bashring etc though.

I was already going to curve all the edges of the points, just am waiting until I get a new program off my friend before I finalise designs, this is just a quick knock up.

ogre Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 a 180 or 200 version of the tryall rear 155mm for stocks wouldnt be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Didn't those have an issue with cracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
