Quite true - if you look closely at the gussets at the top of the head tube and down tube on the T-Pro you'll see the weld doesn't go all the way round. I never took a specific photo of that so this is the best I can manage: The gussets are now open ended, it's just that the shape didn't get changed. ALSO: I'm always interested to hear about stuff like this - where and how did they break? Can you email me pictures, assuming you didn't just shove them in the bin? As to when they might be available, I have no idea myself so I can't supply that information.

I have already posted this link in another topic, but I think the pictures would be useful, even if you don't read French...

110mm

My suggestion: http://www.gemm.com/ You can change the currency so it means something - it defaults to US dollars. A lot of the shops involved are around Europe anyway.

I didn't have a 100mm PZ-31 stem handy but I did have an 80mm one. It weighs 200g.

It's more to do with stopping the stem from flexing/twisting when pushing down on either end of the bars. The stem weighs 300g, although we reckon we could take another 30-40g off fairly easily. It's a 100mm stem.

THE 'V' STEM

Poopipe - mod 3 is the only one that's 'normal' BUT with no holes for snail cams. Mod1 1.98kg Mod2 2.28kg Mod3 1.78kg I'll just go and edit these into my first post now...

As Inur pointed out the arrangement is a bolt screwed in the front to push the wheel backwards, thus bringing the tensioner inboard so you can't smash it on rocks and stuff. It's an evolution from the drop stay frame. Of course, it makes snail cams completely impossible.

From time to time we get frames in that are either completely new designs or variations on a theme which we can then try out and then either decide to use or reject a particular design. We've put up pictures of this type of frame before on the forums to see what the reaction would be. So for your amusement here is the latest batch. Click on the images for the larger version. Constructive comments welcome. Weights have now been added (5:38pm). MOD NUMBER 1 - 1.98kg If you don't recognise it, it's the Limey 20. Or something similar will be. MOD NUMBER 2 - 2.28kg MOD NUMBER 3 - 1.78kg The major difference between this and mod number 2 is the fact that the bottom bracket arrangement is made with tubes rather than CNCed parts.

You can find some photos of a tensile freewheel being taken to pieces here Unfortunately it's in French and I'm not going to translate it (maybe another day) but the pictures alone might be useful.

Buy this SD card: http://www.picstop.co.uk/Secure-Digital-SD...D%29-Card---1GB and this reader: http://www.picstop.co.uk/Multi-Card-Reader...d-Reader-Writer and if you want a recommendation on a USB stick, this one is a good one: http://www.picstop.co.uk/USB-Flash-Drive/O...ash-Drive---1GB and finally, DON'T BUY ANY OF THOSE OFF EBAY, THEY'LL BE FAKES

It's a Zona, not an Onza. It isn't covered by the half price replacement scheme. Hypothetically if it was covered by half price replacement you are looking at half of the full retail price of 300 quid, frame only. Any part has to be returned to us for any claim. If it's half price, then we need to scrap the original item. If it's a warranty claim (which it sounds like) we need to inspect it and scrap it if we send out a replacement. I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong (especially on here) but this is the first Zenith frame break I have heard of.

OK. In fairness, I hadn't thought of that :$, so it was overreacting. I thought I'd better demonstrate it was enough. Sorry Rusevelt.

Pardon..? and a couple more similar if you want to have a look: http://www.onza.com/spares/steering/acekingsidebyside2.jpg http://www.onza.com/spares/steering/acekingsidebyside3.jpg

Well, that's OK then. You mustn't believe everything you read on the web... If anyone wants this put back the way it was, I can do that (saved it).

Yes, it's covered by half price replacement. Return the freewheel (as much as possible) to Super Cycles with name, address, contact details and what you'd like done on a bit of paper and we'll get in touch. If you want to spend a bit less and work a lot harder, the internals are available separately for twelve pounds (balls, pawls, springs, shims - as pictured). GIF animators - go!

Its nitpicking I know, but ours was weighed with the star washer and the bolt to give a "complete" weight.

Most recently (yesterday) the Tensile headsets arrived. Since we had the chance, we thought we'd spec them as highly as possible The prototypes were tested by Danny Butler. Very kind of him. He didn't even break them. For the headset the relevant specs are: Weight complete: 117.5g and from the top down: Carbon fibre top cap (alloy insert to stop the bolt pulling through) attached with titanium bolt. 6061 T6 alloy cups, with interference fitted angular contact ("AC") sealed bearing units. The sealed bearings are a bit special, being ceramic balls moving very smoothly round titanium nitrided hardened steel races. You will have seen titanium nitriding on drill bits. It makes them more durable, reduces friction and gives them that gold colour. The crownrace is stainless steel. We haven't got the boxes yet, this ones a mockup... We expect the boxes to arrive in two or three weeks... although you can buy the headsets immediately if you're prepared to go without. Suggested price: £65

A quick word (which I'll have to elaborate on tomorrow) just to say that the new Tensile Ace headset is available. Photo for now:

Good to see that Danny's built his. And it looks so pretty, too.... The Duel pictured is the second version, the first having proved a bit too flexy for Rob Poyser (after about 30 seconds) A few more items for you to get your teeth into. All of the following are either new, recent or have been out of stock for a while. The mech savers are back in stock. We now have a single speed kit and chain tensioner although the single speed kit was more for dirt jump, for the price it might be worth trying. Something new and almost unmentioned are the two headsets: the Onza Mongo III (yes, there have been a Mongo and a Mongo II although quite a while ago) and the Tensile Ace headset which is available to pre-order at Super Cycles (it'll be with us in about three weeks). The sealed bearings are of interest. The bearings are ceramic and the rings they spin in are titanium nitrided. This is the process that gives drill bits that sort of golden colour, making the steel extremely hard and reducing the friction. Interference fit means they won't fall out, but means there won't be any sloppiness in the feel. Danny Butler has one for testing currently. Everyone has already heard of the Tensile offset mounts and the Tensile four bolt booster. The booster, rear mech and tensioner will be in stock in a couple of days at Aire Valley Cycles. The pictures are all here for now. I'll put them in this post tomorrow. All the products mentioned are available at Super Cycles right now.

Mark must be feeling quite put out that no one has asked him for pictures of his accident. On second thoughts...
