You have bought? Very nice, but I've heard bad things about the braking with Omegas.

Yeah, me too. However, if you're braking your doing it wrong. Also, triathletes tend to be very good at group riding discipline, so there shouldn't be any need for emergency braking for what I will be using it for.

I left my "technical" drawings unattended for 5 minutes and someone drew cocks on them. Neil was just here.....

9/10, no jism shooting out the end, what does that say about dammit?!?

That he is a man of restraint and class?

oh clearly

Has @Dammit ever shown restraint on here?

Box of obsolete di2, ready to be cut to pieces to allow for bar end shifters to be lathed...

Why have buttons on either side of the end - won't that result in compressing a button on the outside when you rest your hand on it

I'm going to position the buttons out of the way of my normal hand position, and they will be almost entirely recessed, so shouldn't be an issue.

Also, turns out it wasn't Neil. Suprised, I have to say...

You don't lathe things. You turn them using a lathe godamnit!

Also, that stem is puke.

= perfect for a Triathlon bike then.

Ugly is better.

I charge extra for painting ugly stuff.

You must be coining it in then.

Bang!

Forgot to post this. Knocked up a prototype bar end earlier this week. Final one will be more curved at the tip, but need to work out how to make the turner contraption thing lathe it in to the right shape (amiright @hoops?!?!?)

Anyone know a good heat release adhesive? (@Dammit @hoops @danstuff) I'm planning on bonding the bar end shifters in place, but will need to be able to remove them. Would rather not put any extra bolts or holes in, for aero/weight/cba reasons.

Let me have a look - I've got a loctite that is for press-fit installations, it's designed to make a bond that can be broken non-destructively.

The green stuff? did think of that, but will be getting weighed around a lot, and the internal mating surface (extension bar) is not going to be built to any sort of uniform tolerance, so I'm not sure that's going to cut it...

Make the OD of the plug mating surface larger than the ID of the extension bar, then cut the ID to a uniform roundness that allows a press-fit?
