Revised Nimbus II Frame

[unibikeling]

Hi, ive had the idea for a while to cut the nubs off of the 'nimbus II
frame' (http://tinyurl.com/6kqxjc), and finally got around to it.

I'll be painting it sooner or later, and might bring it back into the
shop to sand blast the rest of it (our schools sand blaster sucks, the
sand blasted parts took around half an hour to do, along with putting it
to a wire wheel to try and get most of it off before hand) Plus, the
reason why some areas look really sketchy and not smoothed out is
because our shop teacher doenst have a working angle grinder, so i'm
using a belt sander for all of it. You cant put a frame into many
positions on a belt sander either.

anyway, heres the pics.

I actually thought about this too, cool to see someone that actually had
the balls to take a chance and do it.
Is that the final product? it looks good, but i think you need to do
some more revision grinding.

haha. Yeah, I was going to try and get a diff frame anyway, so i
thought to heck with it, i'll go for it.

No its not the final product, the edit window closed before i could
state so (if i havent). If i leave it like this, i'm going to spray
paint it matte white. Also, i may bring it into school tomorrow to try
and work on it again, but i'm fearing that my shop teacher will get mad
at me for working on it (rather than my projects that need doing, i
decided to do this lol). So, i may bring it in again tomorrow, and have
my friends help me sandblast (its like a 3 person job to get the sand
blaster working all right). I'll try and grind it smooth in some places,
or try and thicken a few areas, but its really impossible with our shop
setup.

edit: oh yeah, i sliced off the nubs and ground it at an angle on each
side, then welded 2 1/8'' thick peices of metal onto each side, then
with the belt sander i ground them smooth.

I would just grind the welded areas down to the points in which
everything is level and smooth, with barly a weld showing. In other
words grind the whole shebang until it looks close to a kh frame.

well, what i did is actually sorta the way i want it. I mean, i want to
have it sorta like a kh frame, where the side goes up at an angle, then
goes flat, but its impossible to get that with our belt sander.

Hmm, the illusion im thinking of is just the welds not popping off the
frame, them being more level with the tubing.

Picture example... (quickly made in paint)

actually, your idea is what it looks like in real life. Its just really
hard to grind it down. Thats the idea i was going for, i'll just bring
it back to school and screw around with it and grind it.

I was considering doing this with my Koxx frame, but I was going to
braze it at school. With a bit of cleaning up that will look cool.

Man I'm glad you said Mig weld at the end of your original post! For a
second I thought that was J-B Weld epoxy on there.

With that said, I love this idea. After I buy my 2nd UNI (maybe for
this Xmas) I will consider a similar mod for my 24" nimbus II frame. I
was thinking of powder coating or something else beside chrome anyway.

I love my cranks, they never come loose. Maybe you just need to tighten
them a lot more.

hahaha. JB weld lol... Yeah, its a really cool thing to do if you have
access to a metal shop, or just a plasma cutter, a welder, and a
grinder.


woo. I just grinded my frame a bit. It still needs a little, but its
too cold for my hands/feet to be able to work right.

Good idea, im gonna strip my cranks and a few other things on my
unicycle tonight. I might later on (when i get new cranks) make a
revised torker DX cranks thread. What im gonna do is tighten the cranks
while they are on the hub, and weld them shut(not onto), then grind the
pinch bolts off.
Gonna be sweet.

edit: wish my camera didnt suck so bad. its a darkish olive drab green,
with white speckles in it. It covers up a lot of things that were wrong
with it. Oh, and my certificate of completion of the OEC course is in
the 3rd and 4th pictures.

I was thinking about doing the same thing you did, but I lack the skill
and am to lazy. Plus my friend is letting me use his old round crown
untill I get my KH longneck frame.

BTW
Who's bright idea was it to put those painful nubs on the frames
anyway? I hate them cause I allways hit my legs on them when I fall off
big stuff.

Cool, Its a great idea for it. Well, the nubs probably make
manufacturing or something easier. Plus, that frame was built like a
tank at the factory. So, i think theres a little that goes into it.

Yeah, i knew it would come out like that a little. I mean, theres no
exposed weld actually, but its got an essance. If i would have spent
time to actually painstakingly build this to its full extent, it would
probably be the strongest frame build ever. Theres a lot in it that can
prevent it from breaking actually.

i'm satisfied :)

Who needs a round crown when you have this? Hehe. I could be wrong but
it looks like you'd have the best of both worlds.

I'm not going to ever manufacture frames, but i'd be happy to have my
name on anyones 'idea' that was, or like this frame.

Yeah, pointless IMO.

Also aluminum doesn't weld re-well. You would need to get it heat
treated, even if you did it would be weaker than stock - steal doesn't
have this problem.


BTW... nice chop & paint job. (w/o powder coating or chrome plating,
it'll scratch MUCH more easily and then rust - keep it indoors and dry
it off right away if you get it wet)

Maybe he means that he also has a Nimbus II and once he has a KH he
will customize the Nimbus II?

A helmet won't protect your back, or your neck, or your wrists, or your
ankles, or your face, or your hands. It *may* help keep your brain
functioning if you should slam your skull into a solid object. I don't
care if you wear a helmet or not.

Tomorrow night i'll get some pics up of the build. Ive got some welding
and such to do tomorrow on my stiffner plates, (reinforcing my seat). I
got a little sidetracked and ripped apart 2 seats lol... Anyway, i got
the frame on the uni, along with the post clamp, just not the saddle.
