I made my bashring this morning, it took about an hour and a half to CNC. Its customized and cool, I'll get pictures later. I just hope it fits onto my bike. I took measurements for about a week on a raceface guard, so it shouldnt be bad, maybe just a tad off....
Its cool though!

 

[Kornphlake]

I made one too, it's not the prettiest, especially after a year of use, I didn't invest too much CAD time into it though. I did have trouble getting the ring to fit, I ended up having to do some grinding after I was done machining it to make it fit. I should have allowed more clearance than a line to line fit with the crank I guess.

 

[dwaugh]

Yeah, mine will need some grinding too. How do you do that? I think I'll just sand the bolts down, they are made of softer metal. I just barely have to sand them down. Otherwise, the guard looks and works great!

Props, ive always wanted to do something like that. Let us know how it turns out.

i milled a pair of bar ends once... looked like the old onzas... 'cept mine weighed like 30 pounds a piece and would have survived a nuclear winter...

but damn they were beautiful...

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

[InsaneP2Rider]

the most creative thing that i've ever done with my bike was duct tape the side wall of my tire because i put a hole in it and was being cheap

that sounds really cool man. can't wait to see the pictures of it

yeah and you polished your own crank arms that is kinda cool too...

ohh yeah...forgot about that


but that took too much damn work

Where are the pics? We've been waiting all day. :mumble:

Ha ha, made you wait!


Ok, here they are. The pictures dont get all the details, it looks even better in real life. (now lets test this new pic uploading stuff)

Edit: Try #2 on uploading pics...

 

[mplutodh1]

sick bud, looks good!

 

[dwaugh]

It makes my Trek look so much better too!

 

[JRB]

Good jorb holmes

 

[COmtbiker12]

Looks pretty sweet! Nice job.

 

[Kornphlake]

Did you mill out the DW too, that must have needed a tiny end mill to get the sharp looking corners.

When I made mine I had problems with the spyder not fitting into the ID. I just used a round file to enlarge the area around the 4 arms on the crank, if you need to make the countersinks bigger it's simple to locate a hole and just counterbore it with an end mill 1/16th larger than the OD of the bolt heads.

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

looks really good, not ghetto at all.

 

[The Kadvang]

Yeah, looks real nice. Can you make me one?

 

[dwaugh]

Actually, I'm making my friend one. I could make more, but there is only a week left of school. can make some next school year, I'd sell them for 5 dollars or so.

To make the DW I used the engraver and only went .015" deep.

 

[The Kadvang]

Looks nice. I wish I had access to that kind of machinery at school.

Yeah, me too but my school is too poor. This is the south, and school is at the bottom of importance. numba 1 is of course insecst (sp) then the list goes on from there. I think school is number 17 or something...

 

[The Kadvang]

Public schooling for life. Up har in NorCal, incest is only around # 20ish, while the growing/smoking of marijuana is hella numero uno.

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

Dude that is hella gnarcore.

SWEET

 

[The Kadvang]

Hella Fasho.

My school is not poor obviously, we are doing quite well... Here is the school's website, look at it for a second.

Here is a pic of it on my bike... I love it.

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

looks even better on bike...

 

[Skookum]

haha that's cool man, next thing you know you'll have your own line of frames.
Can you imagine everbody goin crazy for a "Dwaugh" frame.

 

[smedford]

Nice work on the ring. Looks really good. I could see that selling in shops.

And as I said, too, for under 10 dollars.
I'll make more next school year for whoever wants to order one.
