@Tantrum Cycles, was this your design too?

The Stinky itself was before my time. But that particular year does have my DOPE dropouts and floating brake.

At some point in time, I fixed the rocker that was breaking and the headtubes that were snapping off.....don't remember the years. Long ago and far away

Craig Metal craft? Used to do all those funky stems that made me drool back in the mid 90s.....

Chain links too, apparently?

I would like to know more about how this works.

No, how the chain wear indicator on a master link works.

Whatever happened to my THE fender? Not sure but I found it in a crate of spray paint while cleaning my garage yesterday.

Well, Toby Henderson started Box Components so he's still kicking, but I'm surprised they don't have fenders any more what with the global enduroing takeover and all.

According to this link, SRAM licensed the design.

They covered that in the Vital Podcast with Toby himself. Apparently when he first brought them to market they sold like hotcakes, but shortly thereafter (next season I guess) a bunch of copycats popped up. Then they fell out of favour.

y'all missed the point. i know big T doesn't make fenders any more. The point is, I found my THE fender.

This peaked my interest also. I figured it was where the pin sat in relation to the stamped logo, but nope

Whatever happened to Eastern Woods Research? Their website is from 2009 and it looks like Jay is a Physical Therapist now, but still shows he is doing EWR stuff on LinkedIn. I don't even know what made me think of them this weekend, but I really wanted one of their hardtails back in like...2009 or so. http://www.ewrbikes.com/

As far as I know, it was a one time comeback for EWR fans. I don't think the business was truly restarted with the intent of coming back for the long term.

Here's what I got from him years ago (in a roundabout way).
Ken worked for Jay answering phones and stuff while he was going to school. Ken had an EWR bike.
-After Ken left, he sold his bike.
-Jay closed his shop.
-Years later, Ken found an EWR for sale on eBay and bought it. It was his old bike. He was ecstatic and called Jay. He pushed Jay to get back to making bikes.
Something like 20, 29" titanium hardtails were made for racers (on pre-order).
-Some steel hardtails were also made, but I don't think Jay went beyond that.

yea, from what I recall the last round of EWR frames were very limited, pre-order only type of deal.

He might have found the lightest 35mm stem after all.

I just clicked here to ask the same thing.

 

[toodles]

Did some DH laps with him the other day so he's alive. Beats me why he's not online, I can only assume he's still upset I showed up for DH laps with a singlecrown.

He should only be upset if you beat him to the bottom of teh hillz.

To be fair has there been anything here worth Udi commenting on between October and last week?

you mean anyone seeking a unicorn part or questioning the superiority of diretissima brakes? well...no.

... Or without Direttissima brakes!

@toodles, is Udi in engineering or research? Given his personality and knowledge I would be surprised if he turned out to be a stoner surfer type or a ninja turtle.

Dentalshima?
Excuse I haven't to my knowledge looked in a braking thread for quite some time.
If I'm thinking something along the lines of gold plated pistons pushing soft bristles that gently buff enamel coated rotors to bring your 8oz supercarbon bike to as stop silently and efficiently. Would that assumption be close?

Still wouldn't satisfy the OCD component crowd.

Personality? hahahah. I dunno... enginerd of some type. All I know is he is always goddamn late for everything.

Unfortunately, he's actually a bloody good rider (down hills at least). If I ever beat him on a DH track on my Enduro bike, RM will be the first to know but I think Udi would probably make me go missing first....

He's showing off his gluten free buns apparently.
