Canardweb Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Hey everybody, I seem to get quite a lot of PMs of people asking me to do some bashring for them. I have now found a job, so I won't be able to do this until I get back to school where we have that plasma cutter. And that is... never except if one of my friends who is still there can pass the file and program to our machining teacher who will probably do it for me. But he won't make more than 2 for people here if he does (which I doubt to be honest). And if he does it, he won't until he gets the time. I think you'd better consider this never to happen to not be disappointed. If it happens then it will be a surprise! I will let you know. Also the carbon frame I did broke quite fast. Thank you Edited April 12, 2011 by Canardweb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 Also the carbon frame I did broke quite fast. Intrigued... Pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I havnt read all th coments, just to referring to Adams about deforming. You say you have carbon fibre? Could you cut a bit of carbon and place it in the slot either with a tight fit or some glue might help with strength and keep weight down ??

Mark W Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Carbon is pretty poor in compression though, it would probably crush - although may help a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave33 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Yes I agree mark! But but might just be enough to make the difference! And he's got some already! Depends what's his goals are I guess? All out strength- just stick with steel or if u wanna make it light then other options need to be explored! What kinda plasma cutter is it? I'm guessing it's nc or Cnc ?

Well he's already built it, and you'll see that this thread is only bumped to say he wont be making any more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there are some valid questions about machining process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Can you imagine the mess a manual plasma cutter would make of the design? I think your assumption of NC/CNC is most likely correct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Ye fair point, but I'm sure the general finish your gonna get with a plasma is gonna be pretty ruff!!! Cnc or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Ye fair point, but I'm sure the general finish your gonna get with a plasma is gonna be pretty ruff!!! Cnc or not I wouldn't be too sure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Plasma or laser? Also have they been polished or is that the typical finish? Whats the typical RA ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I dont see the need for anything more than a wider than usual half ring...who actually rides switch when they'd need a bash ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Me either Steve about the only good point is that you could flip it over when the first side got totally f**ked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Intrigued... Pics? I haven't got them as they are on my friend's phone, but I'll ask him to send some. We don't have a lot of them though. Obnly Kevlar Carbon half yoke, and headtube I think. But nothing from the complete frame I think. We broke it when we tried to insert the headset and when we screwed the bottom bracket in. Also as Mark said, the carbon is poor in compression, so the dropouts broke fairly quickly! Anyway, it wouldn't have worked anyway. Yes I agree mark! But but might just be enough to make the difference! And he's got some already! Depends what's his goals are I guess? All out strength- just stick with steel or if u wanna make it light then other options need to be explored! What kinda plasma cutter is it? I'm guessing it's nc or Cnc ? CNC. You could have guessed that as I talked about the program I made for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
