Oh Fiddlesticks
17 Sep 2009 at 18:03I've cracked the dropout of the Pink29, hopefully it'll soldier on for a few more weeks as it's not in a 100% critical position (at the frame end of the slot - with a support on either side giving it stability)
What to do though? I have the Niner, but I'm worried about the EBB device on that creaking/slipping constantly (I guess I could run a chain tensioner). Another scandal? an option, I guess I'll email on-one see what the score it (this was easier when Brant was around, he'd be on the case before I finished saying "I broke another one of your frames").
Don't want to go back to 26" just yet, not least becayse I've just dropped 320 quid on new wheel's and don't have any 26" wheels that actually work.
Finger's crossed there won't be a post in the next 3 weeks titled "That was a long walk home".

Go on build the niner up! Can't have a frame that expensive sat around doing nothing. From what I've read when looking into em, their EBB are quite reliable and sqeak free.

I'll get you a Lynskey sorted.

@Clembo - Everything's quite reliable and squeak free until Matt applies his magic ;)

Go on build the Niner and see if you can break that too before your year is finished.

I'm scared of the Niner, thanks to Brant's "it will snap here" with regards the top tube.
I'm far too lazy to build it up at present, I'm worried about the EBB too, I'll try to squeeze as much out of the Pink29 as possible (also it would feel weird not riding a pink bike, I think people only recognise me because of the bike, when I'm out and about ;) )

No it'll be the speed you go past them too.
Prove him right then.

""it will snap here" with regards the top tube."
I don't remember that.
I got the Ti on-one right though :-)

you then sent me the CAD drawing of the frame.. tube too thin / butting too short, I think you said.

Oh the steel one. Right. Yeah - the drawing I saw was really thin!

"until Matt applies his magic"
Sorry, this made me laugh.
Just how does Matt generate his "magic", esp with that sore wrist? :-)
Oh, I say 'build the Niner' too. :-)
Just accept that you *will* break it. It's only a matter of *when* you break it. :-)

+1 for "build Niner", no sense in it just lurking.
