What you say makes sense, but that's kind of the problem. You're making a very sensible interpretation of how this should play out given how the law is described, but it's the ambiguity in the wording that gives cause for concern.

My financial security being dependent on the common sense of a room full of strangers would personally be extremely anxiety inducing.

It's hard to write anything that doesn't sound disingenous when you're replying to someone on the internet that you don't know. But what you describe sounds harder than I can imagine and I'm so sorry that you're going through it.

However you're doing, we're grateful for the thread and your quest for cat-based bike adventures! Please give her a belly rub from us :)

dibs, will PM

Anyone tried these fake Ingrid cranks?

Bumping this just because I've also gotten involved on and off over the last year and it's lovely. Good to see CCK represented on the forum!

What's your 3D print material, is it Markforged? If you have access to this kind of material you probably know this already but lots of the carbon fiber reinforced materials out there are nylon based, which means they swell and weaken with moisture. Conformal coating/paint does a good job of stopping this.

Not trying to be mansplain-y, just speaking from the experience of having printed bike parts fail and not wanting to see you need a face transplant!

slightly off topic but does anyone know what the status of Low is atm? Seems like they're not making bikes and there's no indication of when they'll start again, I couldn't find anything online. Its a shame because they make stunning frames and in the back of my mind I always wanted one if I ever got rich and had big money to spend on a sick fixeh

People don't seem to understand how rude it is. My brother is 6ft 9 and he gets this shit all the time, you wouldn't go round pointing out how small a short person was would ya 🤦‍♂️

Beautiful bike btw love a dale

Done some googling - these actually size quite a bit smaller than they seem. The geo for this is very similar to a 61 cm CAAD of the same vintage so would probably be a good fit for anyone 195 cm +

What kind of height would one need to be to ride such an enormous frame?

That's... Quite expensive?

How much for the front?

How do you rate the front rack? They seem like an ingenious idea but I've never seen one in the wild

Had a good weekend riding my X85 the length of Cornwall. Absolutely filthy, soaking wet roads, and I've never done such hilly riding in my life. But this bike was in its element!

Goddamn, the matchy Eno artwork bags

how much? love this bike

Are these still available? Why do they not let you run gears? Presumably there's a freehub on there?

I think you're talking about a patent. My understanding is that you can only apply for a patent before your idea becomes public knowledge, because after that point it's essentially a "free" idea at nobody can claim ownership of.

Patenting something is also fairly time consuming and expensive, and they expire after a while. So as a private individual it's only really worth pursuing if you think your idea is going to make bank.

This is super cool btw!

Fascinating, cheers for the technical detail! Perhaps the stiffness of the chainstays dominates, which is why you don't see any difference in feel. I think both bikes looks great

Longtime lurker, love this thread. I've noticed that some (all?) of your frame builds share the skinny mono seat stays. I think it looks absolutely stunning, but does it have any impact on the stiffness of the bike?

Really cool, nice job! fyi if you want to make it waterproof I have had great success with using Fjallraven wax on denim, I did this to a tool roll and it's been very durable

My initial reaction was "god, that's a lot of weight", but I guess you can have confidence in the load bearing capabilities of your "rack" given that it's designed to carry children! That's so cool to see.

Really awesome bike, love the build. Old MTBs make such great drop bar commuters.

Spray.bike goes on nicely and is reasonably tough. But it also comes out VERY rough and needs a lot of flatting back to get a shiny finish. I rate it, and it sprays easily, but it's a lot of work to get a really good result IMO.

I don't want to be one of those naysayers (this whole thing is bonkers and I love your attitude towards this), but 2-3 mm tent poles in carbon might be awful.

Off the top of my head tent poles tend to be in the 10+ mm region. Stiffness scales a lot with diameter, so a 2 mm pole is going to be orders of magnitude less stiff than a more standard size

No way! That's a massive improvement, nice one
