modifiedridah2k9 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Hey all, a few days ago I got the carbon downtube protector thingy. A while back , I saw a Zoo! Lynx with a hole cut in the protector to go over the bashplate mount thing. If you know, what would i need to do this? And how would I do it?

krazykid009 Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Surely all you need is a drill and the right size drill bit. Could I ask that you put a pic on when you do it as it is something I am interested in getting for my mod when I get it Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Assuming you go to high school (i forgot how old you were now) your DT room should have a pillar drill, use that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt jumper jake Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 I guess you can't do it then Nah in all seriousness drill it out and then use a round file if your a perfectionist. remember not to use a f**k big drill bit at the start though, use a small one then gradually increase the size (of the bit) otherwise you will f**k it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 That was my bike you saw. I used a pillar drill with a deburring tool in it. If you choose to go ahead with this make sure you wear breathing protection. There is strong evidence to link carbon fibre particles with cancer.

Okay, thanks for the advice, i dont think i will do it just yet. And these days what doesnt give you cancer, apparently opening your eyes gives you it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leistonbmx Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Don't get why you'd drill a hole in it to get it lower wont do anything under the bashplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I did it so I could run it without a bashplate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know i just never hit the bit of my frame where its meant to go and i always hit the bashplate mounts (i do not run a bashplate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykid009 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 What is the plate actually there for? If hitting it supposedly will damage your frame, and the bash ring is on your cranks anyway, surely it would be better without one? Just a thought James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought James Biektrial used to be all about bunnyhop to bash etc...proper BIU moves, its slowly moved away from that with the new UCI style coming in but frames are still sporting their BIU roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
