I've read somewhere that the aricraft industry is using 3-D printed Titanium joints which weigh about half as much but are double as strong as the previous generation of joints.

Cheers On the other hand, if you chose to, you could keep the weight the same and design a stronger crank using these methods. |

Cheers On the other hand, if you chose to, you could keep the weight the same and design a stronger crank using these methods. I think that the AI and 3D printing of stronger cranks is a perfectly valid way to model things so that you could use the vastly complex methods of casting such pieces. When we were going through that business about the steel rotation limiter, I pulled an aluminum casting off of a cheaper Campy derailleur and tried it and it was too thick and could not work. But when I ordered another from Banford Bike, I ended up getting another aluminum casting. I wrote to them three times and never got an answer. I KNOW that they still make this steel piece because all of the 11 speed derailleurs use it. But eventually I tried the aluminum casting and it was indeed different and it appears to be able to work. So I installed it and hope that the Centaur derailleur doesn't fail again. I could always install a Record derailleur if I get too nervous. |

Rolf +1 3D additive machining is much more than little plastic gizmos, Right. And some of the biggest development efforts occur about seven miles from me. https://www.americamakes.us/ -- - Frank Krygowski |
