  1. Any answer beyond 'none will be a suprise to be honest but I'm hopeful.

    Ross's response above is how I'd imagine it .

    So where have people taken a wash in years gone by and is there a steady stream of pizza hut mopeds buzzing between Chelmsford and the site to fuel the weekend ?

    With a farm that size there'd be an old bath in a field somewhere we could queue up for ?

  2. Have a look at the Phatworks frames under development. There is a thread on here somewhere about them. Some great all round geo options, very nice brake options, modern tapered headtubes with different b/b height options. Being developed by a well know UK rider/desginer whos been in the scene for decades. Phatworks on Facebook is the way to go.

    I think it was more that they'd invested money in their new frame/fork/stem 1.5" steerer setup, and for whatever reason that run hasn't worked out.  They're still carrying on with their parts (we received an order today), it's just the new framekits aren't being made.

    For what it's worth I've heard of other companies having something similar - lead times for production in Taiwan are super long, and if there's an error in production that can really f**k things up for a company.

    For the bars, it seems they had a sketchy batch of them.  We had loads go out that were solid, then they suddenly started breaking, then went back to being fine.  In fairness to Dom he was sound about getting them warrantied.

    Warrantied or not,  the price of a new bar is less significant than the pain of broken wrist/collar bone etc and the price of time off work to heal just for a 10% saving in carbon.  The weave / manufacturing etc maybe be believed to have advanced to justify the weight /material loss,  but totally not worth injuring customers.  The try all bar has a long history of lasting surely they can learn from that construction. 

     

     

  4. Doesn't the carbon actually hold the aluminium drop out in? Although that drop out piece will be bonded into a section of the fork leg,  not just the tip, I'm not sure if cutting into it and the carbon skin surrounding it would be detrimental to the strength. 

    I've never seen a crewkerz carbon fork, only online,  so others might know better than me

    Just trying to opinions on this as I really wanna buy this fork

  5. Thanks Adam. Don't really want to buy a new front Hub and rebuild the wheel , though the crewkerz fork is indeed a thing of beauty. 

    What are hub options for this fork? Only crewkerz, hope , king or can others be modified? 

    I've seen crewkerz aluminium forks for sale on here modified for normal hubs, though don't know in detail what was done as the drop out hole is already oversize. I doubt anyone would want to cut into the drop-out of a sexy new carbon blade but just looking at options.

  6. Tube profile all round is good, using the same stiffened rear triangle from the Raijin. Top and down tubes  looks cool and have had thought put into them.

    Here we go again with ANOTHER flaming from the English speaking countries about the name, just like Inpulse and the new Crewkerz Jealousy. The French must just throw their hands in the air and say F**k it , it  doesn't matter what we call it they wont like it. I kind of like the name.

    Looks like they've stepped up the standard of their graphics over the HashTagg decals painted on the Raijin, which are horrible.

    I like it and I'd buy it.
