anybody who knows me, knows my fetish
for Titanium, so I'd thought I'd give you an
insight into some of the ti stuff I've got
for my new build so far.........
the plan is to have no steel bolts/nuts or
steel axles at all on the new bike..........
so if any knows where to get 1/4" unc ti
bolts ( 30mm long) from please let me know
coz I need 5 and then that'll be my aim
achived.......
Hey Ray, I bet that little stash added up to load$ a' money!!!
ReplyDeleteCant help you on the bolts, out of interest, what are they for dude? Loving those Ti washers, bet they're well heavy! ha!
Looking forward to seeing the completed project too ;-)
good picture too...
the bolts are for the cranks and seat clamp, both rnc... price wise it wasn't that bad : seatclamp £10, driver £40, stem & seat bolt $20( £11 ), front axle, chainring 14mm & 10mm nuts $140 ( £80 )rear axle £40, all the other nuts,bolts & washers were about $30-40 so around £25.... so whats that £206ish.. thats thanks to ebay & bob, I don't think I payed full uk price on anything... duno how much i've lost in weight through all this but for example the 10mm washers weight is 1 gram, the standard odyssey washer is 7 grams, infact the standard odyssey hollow rear axle(steel) weighs as much as the ti axle, ti driver, ti nuts & washers......
ReplyDeletenice one, you'll have to weigh it all together & then weigh all the standard parts that are replaced & let us know what the savings are...
ReplyDeleteSo when's the unveiling then???
yeah i'll get on and do that.... really don't know when it will be done..( customers fuckin me about with paying bills, hence the delay in being able to finish it .....wankers ) but as soon as I can finish it your invited round to have a peep ( Ian only..he,he) my plan still stands to try and get it done before the jam.... btw does anyone have use of a lathe as I need to face of my shortened axle's ??
ReplyDeletegood stuff Ray, don't have access to Lathes though (unfortunately ;-)
