If you develop things for bikes all those brakes and XTR groupsets can go throught the books too…..

I know you asked the question steel or carbon, but why have you ruled out titanium?

Oh if it’s a recruitment agency believe me they will effing hound you to the point of harassment if they can get you in front of a potential sale.if you ain’t a good fit dont expect them to return a call or even entertain you

If it costs a shedload folk complain
If it’s cheap as chips folk complain

The joy of being a bike industry bloke who designs stuff

If brant was a pop star he’d be lady gaga

Ok then do use chiwanese manufacturing and flog it cheap

Simples don’t use chiwanese manufacturing

iirc the ABM bike was the most expensive bike that was nicked

dont worry a lump of wood and a hammer will fix that

damn right wrong bookshop pmsl

any company that want to charge 6.5k for a bike…..saw a spec today 8.5k erm……..no
has anyone sat down and figured out the actuall cost for example adding up the cost of each component pretty sure theres still 3k left in the pot even with a top spec build.

could TATA not have invested a ridiculous amount of money in the bloody silly supercar they are now paying williams to develop. Afterall as a supposed paragon of automotive excellence surely they could bring some of that to the table and get rid of some of the cost in the landy and bring it up to date using their brilliant manufacturing expertise ….suppose theres less farmers now than posh spice wannabe’s who can get finance

has anyone mentioned orange? and not the phone company

i like what manitou are doing maybe they can drag themselves out the doldrums
podge…no giant trinity

giant are great at taking other peoples ideas and cad and nicking em….not mtb related

“Why would you need a FP around Langsett?”

Im talking about the area in general i just class langsett as the route up to the peak for myself.

Why would I mean TATA…..before you point out they fund JLR and tell the management what to do.I have a feeling this decision didn’t come from that high up the food chain though more than happy to be told otherwise

Is this thread because the mighty JLR have decided they might just kill off the defender….for good…no more made….extinct …etc….etc

Thats great for park rangers but a lot of the areas round langsett are neither owned or regulated by the peak the odd time I’ve been accosted by a rambler who informed me it was I politely told em to f… Off

Maybe it’s folks who ain from round ere that don’t give a f… To be honest I don’t but where I am I can see that getting closed to the public very soon …..

i like fresh goods too

when did 300 quid become a lot of money for a frame, QC issues aside there are products out there costing 5 times that that get slated…you can please some of the people some of the time.

ze mechanic zat woz commissioned does he know of ze reamer device for headtubes….dissapointment …..search lucky nino and cassette

was going to say not many engineering firms want to broach these days but if you look up cnc with rotary broaching you will find a hole host of companies who will do it on a cnc for you expect to pay by the hour

forgot to add some companies will dril the hex corners then clear the centre with a larger drill and mill the hex walls in

Anywhere free of air and moisture

Racecar engineering and race engine technology And composites world here no idea how to post the pretty front covers though…

Only mentioned pepipoo because there have been 2 very similar post on there today…it just sounded odd that all of a sudden someone on here has a similar story

dd I forgot to add that…my missus had a NIP for speeding in Birmingham ,never been to Birmingham ….POLICE asked if we could send it as it certainly wasn’t from them

I would head on over to pepipoo if I were you it seems this is the latest scam by folks trying to get a payout.Now it seems you don’t even need to have been there at all someone takes your reg, has an accident, says you left the scene.Result is you have to prove otherwise

If it were me let it get to court let the c’-t get done for fraud thats after you have contacted the police to see if the letter is legit

wiggly spider

Titanium cuts nicely with conventional tooling .Tubes are cold drawn even 6/4 titanium tube
You can get titanium to be harder than steel by using oxygen and a couple of other clever tricks …

Don’t worry your not the first……………but luckily since he got kicked off a forum for selling his expensive better than everyoneelses though obviously proven wrong shite in every forum post

its angular delta will remain the same as the wheel

They don’t necessarily work better bigger pads can have a greater effect more pistons doesn’t mean more power

Also some brakes don’t need to dissipate heat to work better

Ah your talking cars now unfortunately having bigger rotors on a car isn’t always beneficial….

A simple complaint form would suffice maybe points for insults rather than an immediate ban

Why picture no work.?.?

Materials involved indeed has a great influence

I just read 8 highly interesting pages and I’m still no wiser is it a case of you can have an opinion only don’t even consider having it on this forum

or you just not allowed to have an opinion and if you don’t like it f… Off

What we need is magnetic braking to go on our electric bikes
