Re: Triton Sponge frames... titanium trials.

Sponge, how long exactly did it take you to design this frame?

That's great to know Dan. I really liked know that I would have to pay
for you to get set up, pay for labor, and then have a [censored] result🙂

If you're going to [censored] talk, you can be on my ignore list [censored].
Anyone that can read basic CNC code can make anything with decent
quality as long as they have the proper bits and material.

Don't turn this forum into ObservedTrials.net, if I wanted morons to
reply to my post I would just post more over there. Where if you make
even a good post, people give you negative reputation that has words
like Ni**er, and [censored] [censored]... for no reason and the comment isn't
even based on the post.

The fact that you think you need a special "titanium cutting bit" for
the mill indicates that you do not, in fact, have the expertise to make
a set of bearings holders. Unless you have a cnc mill, bearing holders
are actually a reasonably difficult (but well within the reach of any
accomplished machinist) project.

Yeah, actually I have access to a CNC mill.

I don't know why I wrote titanium cutting bit, probably was in a rush
to write the post to do something else, considering our 10 year old
bandsaw blade can cut through pretty much anything, and it's just a
regular blade.

All the bits at my schools machine shop are pretty old and beaten up
from kids being too stupid to stop the machine before it hits the vice
or other things when they set it up wrong.

But seriously, give me a break, I'm obviously not a machinist by
career, I'm still in high school.

Still no offers of bearing holder plans?

Seriously... someone get me some plans, or at least some measurements
of bearing holders. There are loads of machinists in my area... I'm
sure I can find one to make a prototype if I look hard enough.

So are you qualifying or disqualifying yourself from this discussion?
Your post seems to go both ways.

BTW, there's more to machining than CNC code. A CNC machine is not a
microwave. You don't just toss in a bar of metal and mash a couple
buttons...

Don't insult the dudes who've spent years honing their craft in a
machine shop, saying their job can be done by any literate person. Not
that I'm one of 'em, but I know some, and they're serious about their
work.

Why not just measure the ones on your Unicycle and draw up some plans?

Well the key word is decent quality.

I have family members who run CNC machines making engine parts and
other random stuff, but they can't machine worth a [censored] manually...

I'm not bringing down any machinists, I didn't say it was easy to make
super high quality parts, I said that anyone who can read CNC code can
make some decent quality parts. Afterall, a bearing holder on a
Unicycle is really simple in design, it's a shaft collar with some
shoulders and opens by a bolt on both sides.

You're talking now like I have no idea what a CNC machine is.

The last two semesters I took manufacturing, I taught the class how to
use the CNC machines.

The only hard part is zeroing the machine, and making sure the clamps
holding your part down don't get hit by the toolbit. The only reason
the clamps make it difficult is because of the people who hit them with
the toolbit when they program the machine wrong, the edges of the
clamps look equivalent to a foam cup being chewed on.

other one of these frames. I am also the one who traded sponge the
other Ti. I am really excited to be riding again since I have not had
a uni while waiting for this to be built. I will be putting the
following stuff on the uni when I recieve it in the post shorty.
top to bottom

KH Cover seat
carbon fibre base
thomson 27.2 seatpost
KH seat clamp
Triton Ti frame
Maxxis creepy crawler
Koxx drilled rim
Koxx hub
Koxx cranks
easter or somesort of pedals i can find or if sponge sends me some.

Ill def make a mini vid of putting it together or something for you
guys

glad to be the first to test this thing out!

Nice isaac, I'm sure you'll be an excellent tester.

Could you do all of us a favor and weigh the frame?
Thanks a bunch.

Alright ladies.... I forgot to weigh the frame before i built it
up.....simply cause i have not ridden a unicycle in 3+months since i
have been waiting to get this beast..... i built it up so fast, but I
will say this.... Its hella light, hella strong, hella sexi, hella
amazing. The unicycle rocks. My mate Connor sidehopped the lexi huge
up a picnic table with cm's of clearence to go around. I did a
1.8metre drop and the unicycle was silent..... flawless. Its just an
amazing unicycle.[image:
