Had another dig at the dropouts. Not quite there yet.

Option 1 is the sandwich. This is 2x 3mm sandwhiches. This is not an idiotic solution, but it does mean the threads are in the frame which I wanted to avoid.

Option 2 is chunky solution. Looks less nice. But it will be a lot easier to manufacture..

countersunk screws will require making things bigger, which might be fine.

But currently I am think this is too much work without any benfits. I might as well just do UDH droputs.

More bdhu tbh

Sick

Thanks you guys!

Fair enough. The flange is only 3mm thick here.

There's many different types of loctite. I have one that works the same way as this. Maybe not exactly as good as what you are suggesting but I haven't had problems before

No unfortunately, the big North America push hasn't happened yet. 2025 will bring more business there I expect.

Thursday. Maybe just email them and have it put aside

Haha. They ordered some STD symmetric already so maybe just order from them or express interest if it's not up on the site yet

You'd want the No Tab I am doing now no? You on them steel bottles I believe? Or am I wrong?

Thanks 🙏

❤️🍄

Yes!!!! Please buy these so I can give my kids presents this xmas

All valid thoughts i will reply to when I have a minute ^

In the meantime I would like to gauge interest in my Bidons for you UK people. I am working on an order from Stayer and they would like to know how many Bidons they could sell. Could you let me know if you'd purchase the Fungus Bidon from them? 🙏

Yeah that's what I realised when googling them. I even have a set so I should know

Fair. I guess I will have to test it. I was thinking M4 bolts and locktite would do the job.

You need more coffee. The hanger is threaded and will be pulled towards the face of the flange. And because the flange is brazed to the dropout nothing will move once bolted

Thank you. Yes that is the plan for now.

The stainless axle receiver is turned on the lathe and then TIG welded onto the flatplate dropout on both side. The two-holed flange is silver soldered onto the dropout when then dropouts have been brazed to the frame. By chamfering the backside of the bigger hole in that flange I should be able to get it flush with the DS dropout face. Gear hangers can then be out of stainless or alu depending on what I can get lasercut.
All of this is heavily inspired by Hunter Cycles but optimised for my workflow and fab preferences.

Is that Pirelli tyre not mounted backwards?
Edit: I am wrong I think

That looks like it isn't very comfortable in any of the possible hand positions.
Bars look to be adjusted pretty well, but hoods are way to high up on the bars. Might be difficult to get a good fit moving them down but I would try that.
If you can afford it I would consider getting some modern compact bars instead.

Anyways, managed to continue designing these dropouts I was talking about ^

Same. I consider myself a Bricoleur.
Obstructions makes decision making easier as well and grounds the design.
This is exactly what 3d printing suffers from imo

Well this next one might be for you then.

One of my oldest friends, also called Mads, needs a new gravel bike. He's not in a position where he can buy a new custom frameset so we are trying a different approach. I have had non specific tubes and bits floating around the workshop for a while and we are going to build him a frame with this.
You all might remember him from my early work. He was 50% of Hulsroy & Gundersen and was a big part of developing the cargo bikes I built back in 2012-2014.
Anyways, I think I will just put the frame together and he will file and finish it himself. We no longer share a workshop but he has his own where he lives.

Frame geo will replicate his existing Trek but modernised. Longer head tube and lower BB... and disc brakes. AND the cable routing will be Happyman Cable Huggers™

Dropouts are yet be decided, but it's an obvious candidate for trying something new and I have some flat plate Magic Beans in mind, which I think I might also want to use on @Tijmen 's new Rando.

Definitely. But I am having second thoughts about the Internal cable routing

I just used these new to me alu thingies you see in the wise. Sort of self centers it and then I used my belt sander with 36mm drum to get it perfect. It's oval yes
