Qué? They are already 20mm (I think) lower than the average cage. On my website I have pdf drawing with measurements. You can print it out in 1:1 and use as a test template to see if it fits

I'll get them done as soon as possible

The "rail" is defined by the shape of the yoke and sort of the easiest softest route through the yoke. The circular cross section is ø7mm ID for nice clearance for the cable/hose at the end of the channel the cross section is ø12mm to make it easier to guide the cable through. Using the sweep along rail command gives it this organic truncated look. Which I kind of like. It fits the outer appearance well I think. I've only been using SubD (and T-spline in fusion) modelling for a couple of years, but since we are 3D printing more and more I try to embrace to more organic look logic.

I call it The Cor Yoke as it reassembles a heart/organ a bit.

The 3d printing facility hasn't gotten back to us yet. But if the mini voids are a problem we will probably just make that part solid. They take care of all internal mesh structures anyways

Meanwhile I've been designing this monster of a yoke for Stayer OMGs.

Thanks. Theres been surprisingly many interested in nalgene size cages so better make some..

Use what you have. Unless hardware is more expensive than new ones

This needs a Nitto rack. Your best build yet? Off to a very good start at least

650Bx2" tyres + 64mm mudguards on 425mm chainstays with 1x road cranks was a little tricky. We got there in the end tho.

Oh and there some Nalgene/wide mouth cages coming...

Epic day in the workshop!

Yes exactly that. Totally normal

I found some old photos. Same principle

I don't have any photos it seems. I'll make sure to register it on the next frame, but it is literally two slightly tapered pieces of wood in a vise and then I apply a bit of Artisanal Squeeze™

Well, it's my take on a Max top tube really. I like the tapering in a horizontal plane towards the seat tube, but in a Max top tube it also tapers in a vertical plane towards the head tube, and that often doesn't work for me with oversized head tubes at least. Looks out of balance imo.

So... I make my own from a round OD31.8mm top tube normally, or in this case a Zona OD28.6mm.
It also offers me an opportunity to do the little fish mouth transitions as the top tube ends up wider than the seat tube. And I have found that this little non-functional detail spark great joy with me. I love looking at it and I love making it... For some strange reason.

The frame is totally undersized in tubing diameters as per my normal tube selections. @Pish and I have had a great chat about how he can get a lighter and more comfortable ride suited to his physique. I am sad I will never get to try and feel how it's going to ride, but I have great faith in what we are trying to achieve here. Tubes are a mix of Spirit and Zona and I think it will be a great loooong distance bike.

I feel exactly the same. With the development of the sideloader cages I have come to love the idea of maximised bag storage capacity and with bolt on (@samrensho is correct) framebags and @Tijmen's lovely radiuses it's working out great and ends up looking mega clean.

Switching up my process for this bike. Its gonna be fab and because its gonna be fab its obviously gonna get some ding swingers luggage

Its not what you want but its what you are getting

No maybe you are right actually. Thought they were Honjos. Didn't buy them and havent opened the hardware yet. They look amazing in this size and more "flat" in their profile than GB I have owned before in smaller sizes. Blue plastic yes

Honjo. They are honestly insane. Buts going to look amazing. I never want to pay for honjos but these have swayed me over

It's for @Pish btw ^

Progression on the 650b wonder bike

Ath yes and they are actually that nicer shape. They are the ones I meant

I am gonna get some and engrave them DEORE-ACE

Yes. @spotter show'em!

FC-M550 (FC = fucking cool)

Quite possibly the prettiest square taper utility crank evert made... If you discard the chain rings

I am playing with the big boys now buddy

Shimanos are much better

Ftfy

Similar look to those are the cheaper deore LX 110bcd cranks...
