Thanks all
nonk - they look rank...and put all the tress on the seatstay (which my previous design was criticised for)
molgrips - you an expert in these things? Technology has moved on a Cynic-tech Industries, I use electrical tape now 😛

your one is hardly angelina though is it?
your right though bash on chap.
I can imagine the results being quite catastrophic if it fails. Hope it works OK though.
Top work Al. Will be interested to see how it holds up but in theory there's no reason it can't be robust. It's all in the execution (so I'll be expecting to read your obituary soon 😉 )

Brilliant 😀
Mugboo - MemberI met a chap up at Stainburn one day who was riding a home made, carbon fibre, full suss. It was hand painted in black & yellow and called the Wasp!
that chap is a friend of mine, he's an actual genius.

Not exactly, but I'm brilliant at figuring out how things work (or don't). Like Psylar off Heroes 😉
Wow, a real "armchair expert"?

That's over 70 miles a day.
Much better design. The first was laughable, but you seem to have the direction of forces worked out better this time. The bracing strut looks a little low. Take a jubilee clip along just in case 😉 .
It doesn't look pretty but I'm impressed none the less. Did you have to flip the rotor? It looks the wrong way round.
Yup rotor is flipped (and then spaced out 2mm) to get it to clear chainstay.

best take zip ties Al.
I'll be taking a spare rim brake 😛
do i keep missing the pics of death and disaster?
Bit of gaffer would have fixed that .. held out Transit together for years.
If it works, chapeau, if it doesn't chapeau anyway at least you had a crack at it.. I just bought a new frame despite lovin' the old one that didn't have a mount 🙂
