Hulsroy's Hustle

Forks are already build and the QR dynamo hub was a lot cheaper. Plus I have these rear paragon dropouts laying around...

I have the entire Saturday to my disposal. I will be going to my workshop and build bikes for the first time since leaving Boristan City and reproducing myself. I am bloody excited.

I shall commence by chopping the rear triangle off my cargo bike and rebuild my frame jig.

Then next step will be to setup my TIG welder and re-familiarise myself with brazing using acetylene. Once I feel comfy in the workshop plan is to bend some flatbar and re-mitre the cut off chainstays.

I think I might do the yoke like the attached images.
It will allow me to TIG flatbar to the BB shell and avoid having to file fillets in that area. It will be a massive time saver and filing fillets there on a big cargo bike would get akward.
The rest of the joints can be brazed easily without having to do much clean up.
The reason for not TIGing all of it is that my otherwise lovely TIG machine doesn't have a pulse function.

The orange line is a 32T on a 49mm chainline.

Maybe I'll actually do the bridge curved. We will see what I can get done...

Cool stuff. I like the yoke design. With 'bending flatbar' you mean you're gonna bend cut steel plate for the yoke?

Yes. Hopefully I have some 4130 equivalent 30x5mm steel flatbar knocking about.

That looks well nice!

Cool drawings. Is that Inventor?

No Rhino. Thanks

Do you know where I can find out more about dimensioning objects in Rhino?
I've read 25-30% og the getting started manual, but still haven't come across it.

I am not sure exactly what you mean. But it is not like Solidworks, Inventor or Fusion360 where it dims for you. You type in what you need and then set it off the points you want dims from.

Rhino nerds

Aha, I see..
I've only been using inventor and fusion until now, so it's taking a fair bit of mind bending to get to know rhino.

Yeah it is different. Probably not an ideal engineer tool. I am slowly moving towards Fusion, Inv and SW tho

I just realised, that isn't what I need.. But I'll stop the thread derail. There's probably a rhino forum somewhere, where I'll be able to find the answers.

I wouldn't mind a rhino for beginners tutorial.

Want to make awesome bike frame sketches too!

I don't think anyone ever would want to use rhino for bikes. I have never heard about anyone doing it at least.
For most things BikeCad is more useful. Rhino only makes sense when you are designing something that doesn't exist. Eg yokes or cargo bikes.

I like this bike a lot

Scenery looks terrible. I can’t see why you would ever go for a bike ride to look at that!

Yeah :)

I dream of the last two photos, that’s all I want to ride..

Having a new born child I don't have endless time for cycling so I try to sneak in an hour ride once in a while. Luckily 1 hour is enough to provide some gorgeous terrain.

I know the feeling! We are at 20 months and I still feel guilty for an hour

You could just have slid the dropouts forward
