based on your overwhelming responce to this thread,i'd say a picture is in order.DDR was nice enough to come by on his way to a movie and brought the cam. your looking at the rails of an early SH/Kinport adapter spaced for Miyata bolt patterns.underneath that is the top half of the seat post guts,then on the bottom is a bar-end. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: brake trash adapter.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/159895| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- jagur - Random Unicyclist --------------------------------------------------- -searching for the real one wheel deal,the one that wont but will... all i ask is one rotation,on this vision of singular creation...-[image: http://newserver.unicyclist.com/gall...x_flipped.gif] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jagur's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/502 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27512 |

It looks like its jammed all the way against the base of the saddle* are you kidding i wouldnt have jammed that thing all together if i couldnt acually use it.ok,so the pic is straight on and hard to see depth.i'll add another angle. the close quarters as you put it were hard to work with.i had to hacksaw the clamping part of the bar-end a little thinner, just enough so it would fit above the seat guts but not to much so it would be tight in there when totaly assembled. in the end im saving 50 bucks and i get to keep using the SH rail thingy.did i mention its titanium? ive been trying to break it for about a year now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Evilewan, tech pervert? no way,i just hate the seat post mounted brake lever.they just look junky. as a matter of fact,now that its almost all put together.i think the brake on my 29er looks junky anyway.i need to find a better way to mount a lever,a way that isnt upside down and backwards.not using a bike lever at all would be key, a whole new kind of design. brake levers hanging under the seat just look clunky to me now. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: brake adapter 2.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/159952| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- jagur - Random Unicyclist --------------------------------------------------- -searching for the real one wheel deal,the one that wont but will... all i ask is one rotation,on this vision of singular creation...-[image: http://newserver.unicyclist.com/gall...x_flipped.gif] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jagur's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/502 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27512 |

yeah its Ti,ive kept silent about it for over a year.i figure its ok to mention it now.it was just an experiment according to SH.there is a hair line crack developing above one of the welds Gee Thanks - keep quiet about it until it breaks - then tell the world! No, No just kidding!! Actually I'm really surprised that Jagur's Ti rail has held together this long considering what he's put it through. I also have a Ti rail adapter that's still just fine after about a year of use but I can't manage to break anything. It snapped and popped for a little while after I first started using it though. I swore that it had broken from the sounds it made. After a while it quit making noise and it's been fine since. Strange. It probably doesn't much sense to build a Ti rail adapter except that I happened to have some Ti rod and sheet stock so I gave it a try. And I might have learned a thing or two about working with Ti in the process.

And I might have learned a thing or two about working with Ti in the process.* That's what I like about you, Steve. To you, you are playing with materials and experimenting. But the by-products of your experiments are wonderful unicycle components that others can only dream about, or to the lucky few, get to experience first hand. When I experiment with balloons when creating better balloon animals, all I get when I'm done are a bunch of balloons. You create works of art. -- paco - Proud owner of 2 opposable thumbs Sometimes crap works fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ paco's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3715 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27512 |
