Re: [RBW] Re: EDM / Tap Burner
Well it's good news. I ended up reaching out to a machine shop in Kansas City who I have used for low volume commercial work and they agreed to give it a try. No guarantees but they were optimistic. They just got back to me and did the the job for what to me seems a quite reasonable $60... So I'm waiting to get the fork back and get this build moving again. Strange that I needed to send the fork half way across the country to get this done when likely there is someone who could do it right here. Some time it's just who you know.

Re: [RBW] Re: EDM / Tap Burner
Bill, #1. Bolt was tight, but going in, not getting tougher as I went, as happens if you have the wrong pitch, and then when almost home broke just below the surface... It's strange I chased the other three posts and they seemed rather clean. I had made a little jig and got the hole drilled for the ez-out with a left-handed drill beautifully centered. The ez-out had a good bite and I'm turning little by little waiting for the screw to start turning and pop the ez-out breaks absolutely flush with the surface of the bolt. I had chosen the smaller of two ez-outs hoping that it would not cause the bolt to further bind up. In hindsight with the pilot hole centered in the bolt i should have keep using bigger drills till I was at the minor diameter of the thread, and picked out the pieces. There are just so many lessons here. Joe On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 1:02 PM, Bill Lindsay <tapebu...@gmail.com> wrote: > There are four different ways I've broken bolts in the past. > > 1.

[RBW] EDM / Tap Burner
I wondering if anyone out there can help. I'm building a Randonee bike up for a friend and I have a big problem. I've broken a bolt off in a brake boss, and then in hindsight, stupidly an ez-out as well. As I've been told by a couple of people, never think that a ez-out will work, NEVER ever go that route. >From my understanding fixing this mess is a job that a EDM / tap burnercan do.

[RBW] Re: Crank/BB/spindle tips (changing triple to double)
Hi, That would be my bike. I did change over to a Phil bottom bracket, now let me think; half of 115 is say 57 +3mm of spacers is 60 and that doubled would be 120mm. I think I ended up with a 122, to set the bike up symerrical, but I'm not a low Q nut as my knees like it a little wider than some. Joe On Thursday, June 11, 2009, Garth garth...@gmail.com wrote: That TA crank needs a 115mm BB, according to some info from Sheldon Browns site. This gives a very narrow Q of 134mm. You could go wider on the BB, but not narrower. These arms are straight. No bow. What is the current length of your spindle? I don't know the Saluki well enough, but a double of this crank may not have room to clear the small rings. I found this photo of one. . . . it would be tight with a 30t ring. You may need a slightly longer BB. http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc117-joeszokoli0506.html Isn't customizing fun? :) -- Joe Szokoli New York City --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

[RBW] Re: Impeding Ram Reincarnation!
Tarik, Hardly the same, steerer tubes break on all types of frames, but you will be hard pressed to find a simpler mid-fork blade failure especially, if you disregard any forks with braze-ons. Bicycle Manufactures are not playing with a full deck when it comes to carbon fork and frame design, and to assert otherwise is misleading.

The fork just separated while riding. Is that similar enough? I think that is a kogswell that was made at a same plant where surly/soma make there stuff, possibly others more germane to the list. Again, there have been plenty of shoddily made steel frames that still are out there and plenty of steel frames that exist from reputable builders that have broken suddenly. . I am not going to defend carbon as the right material choice for you, it probably isn't if you are on this list, but you should not be so confident that crap like that will never happen to you because you are on a steel bike.

[RBW] Re: Question about BB, TA, and Saluki
Gino, Your welcome, One of the two things I changed was the bottom bracket, the tread was just to narrow for my knees. I went with a Phil, and I think I added ~3mm to each side maybe a 120mm? The other thing I changed was the front bag, you can see the final build at: http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2006/cc117-joeszokoli0506.html Joe -- Joe Szokoli New York City --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
