Kermit4king – this is my DJ bike I built years ago, it’s a Dialled Holeshot with homemade horizontal dropouts welded on. The brake mount is fixed position but works well enough even though the alignment isn’t perfect unless the wheel is centered in the slot.
In terms of strength they should be slightly stronger than the original. Dimension wise the should be the same thickness as the original and only about 1mm wider at the thinnest point, but I bet the 6082 I’ve used is much better quality than the mild brie the originals are probably made of!
I do quite a lot of custom hand tooling design for assembling stuff, so often make prototypes/one-offs. Also do a lot of testing on machine tools so sometimes make fixtures and test pieces.
Kramer – good thinking, will add something. Hard to do on disc side without making the axle longer.
I machined a second batch of hangers today and I think I have messaged everybody on this thread who has asked for one. If you want one and haven’t received a message, send me a pm asap. I have a couple of spares, but not many. The first batch was sent via Royal Mail 2nd class yesterday.
This has removed me to look back at the photos and see how everyone else has done their cabling. Because hoses and cables entering guides on the same side of the head tube as the device which actuates them is not ok.
I have put the XL on Pinkike as while the standover is fine and the 175mm seat post is spot on, it might feel a stretch too far in terms of reach perhaps, although it’s not too bad in isolation, same as my Foxy L.
Hanger wise I have 3 left unsold, but about 7 people haven’t replied. Assuming I can find some suitable offcuts of metal I’ll probably do another batch at some point, probably after Christmas though.
Glad to hear they are arriving ok. It would be good if a couple of people could confirm they fit fine, as I’ve only tested them on my frame! I’m just labelling up the second batch, which I was going to post yesterday but forgot the printed labels so now would be a good find to double check.
Can you tell I have postage label OCD, they aren’t coming off!
