hey lance i noticed those skull-and-crossbrace thing didnt make it to benders bike, is that because of extra travel or something along those lines? or just because he wont be turning all that much on it?
The links on his bike are much thicker than the F1. The pivot system on a Fatty Fat has bearings in the frame (all the way across on Benders frame) and the links clamp onto the axles. It's makes it harder to assemble but the stiffness is increased by doing that way.vitox said:hey lance i noticed those skull-and-crossbrace thing didnt make it to benders bike, is that because of extra travel or something along those lines? or just because he wont be turning all that much on it?
On the F1 frames we designed them to be more user friendly when servicing. You just remove the axles, loosen the pinch bolts and push the bearings out with you fingers. Reassemble the same way, takes about 15-30 minutes to do them all.
I'm gonna argue that while the rearward arc on your fantastic wish-I-could-have one bikes might help him out, it ain't exactly whats been hurting him.flymybike said:
Simply put, hes got neither your skills, nor wades, nor any of the other big boys. Hes got balls of 4130 for sure, but that ain't gonna do it.
Didn't the apacolypse have a slightly rearward path?
At the top of the travel. It has to swing forward through the travel to not explode the derailliur. Ours uses a upper pulley wheel to counter the chain stretch.dropmachine.com said:

wow that made no sense. wow thats a beefy bike. my bb7 weighs 41 complete. thats jsut over twice that frame. wow.

I thought you might like a sneek peek at the 2006 F1. It's a 4130 cromo main frame and 7000 series aluminum rear and links. Weight is 1/4 lb more than the aluminum version from 2005.
love it. I'm a fan of cromo. nice that y'all are going back to it!

really nice!
dead sexy!
Looks awsome lance, I cant wait to get mine and paint it ugly colors
nice!
that is really pretty!
the "sore thumb blue" swingarm kind reminds me of late 90`s discos who often had a garish green color.
is that the DHR? are they ready?

i actually emailed wb a couple days ago. the response was: "At this time the DHR is still in the test phase. I do not have a lead time on the availability. I will let you know as soon as this phase is done". so yeah. i'm determined to have a fully air-sprung bike for next year; if not the dhr, the boxxer wc (if, it is indeed sans-springs). i do :heart: my wb (dh2.0) fork, though.
A few pics from the weekend.

I don't think we have a official weight but 65 lbs. ish. Everything on it is about as heavy as you could buy.
Fork is 66 deg. I designed it to run the Super Monster. Could work with a Rissi Big Foot or a MT. 10.
What kind of hubs does he run ? By the way.....the bike is BLING !!!
....by the way. Considering this "big drop machine" what is the reason for the 26" setup versus a 24" ?
I give the seat about two minutes.
Other then that, thats a sweet bike though, built for what its supposed to do without compromising and it still looks a bit like a racebike in a way. It even reminds me of a BB7 a bit.
Props to Bender for steppin it up. Our world would be a more boring one without hero's like him.
