I have been doing some insane long hours in the workshop lately. Not because I had to, just because good stuff just kept coming together. Yesterday I did 830am-1am and ended up crashing on the office floor in my workshop. I haven't done that since 2014 😂
Anyways, the week brought loads of cages that are now with the electro polishing company.
Managed to do a really nice batch of Symmetric Nalgene size cages but I had no success with the bigger sideloaders. The fixture I use with the regular sideloaders isn't able to keep things straight on larger cages, so to be efficient I need to make a new fixture. Minor setback, but worth the time investment.
All day yesterday I fought to finish the new gravel bike for an event today. I got so close but in the end I wasn't able to fit the chainring I was hoping to use. It is too big (50T) for my needs anyways so will replace it with a 46T or 44T which should be absolutely fine for flat earth gravel paired with the 11-42 cassette.
And as you can see my new @Tijmen bags arrived and they are fucking gorgeous.
You need the right chemicals (which can be tricky to get hold of) and the right equipment (safety stuff as well), but once that investment is done and the right questions answered by AI it was surprisingly easy.
