Re: A Frame Design.

If you want to save some more weight along with the 16", drill your rim
like the bike trials guys

It looks like Miyata style bearing holders to me. As for your frame, I
think it would be a good idea to use some triangle gussets to help hold
the two pieces of sheet metal. I have a feeling that in order to make
the frame ridged enough for hard core use.

DK, try searching "try-all" rims. Yoggi didn't drill his rim, it came
that way. I have the same rim, but in pimptastic blue and silver. It's
super wide and rather light. The quality of it isn't up to that of a
surly, but it's been fine so far.

Just build it! Test it, refine and rebuild it etc. You have a great
future. The idea could be built using hand laminated carbon and epoxy.
Just think about that.

I'v thought about a carbon frame before, my family has a very good
friend who is the Chief Test pilot at Scaled Composites, and i am sure
that they must have tons of scraps laying around, he might be able to
snag me some...but then comes how to get bearing holders to attatch to
carbon fiber, you can either mold some custom crabon fiber bering
holders or you can uni the Yuni ones the UDC sells and come up with some
mounting bracet to attatch them. But for not i think im gona stick to
just plain steel frames for now.

are you just imune to money can you just take a frame and drill holes in
it hoping it works or if it doesnt just go get another?

You don't know what you're talking about, do you? The cost of making a
frame in materials is *very* low. The wilder frame has at most $50 worth
of materials in it. The cost is in the manufacture. A kid like Evan or
me, if we have the tools, can afford to make things and break them as if
they're disposable because a 13 or 16 year old's labor is not
expensive.

You can't make stuff out of carbon fiber like what you described, Evan.
Carbon fiber has to be molded before it's dried, which isn't easy. Using
scraps won't work. Also, it wouldn't work very well with those ribs
being cf because they'd be susceptible to cracks during falls.

And yes, Bevan is right, i could make about 25 frames for maybe a lil
over 100 bucks, not high quality, super strong tirals frames, but kinda
like yunis or uniteds.
