No problem!
Looks like the CNC backings are going ahead with a small manufacturer about 5 miles from the Tarty warehouse. Great to keep things local where possible 😎

Carbon road cranks for a trials bike? I love a sketchy, inappropriately used Chinese bike part, but that's too far IMO.
Maybe the money would be better spent elsewhere. Rotating weight perhaps? What is the rest of your spec now?
-
Yes, exactly that. All of the TNN stock, designs, intellectual property, contacts etc. were purchased from TNN a while ago (not sure on the exact date, maybe a year ago?). It's taken a while to find UK suppliers / manufacturers who will mould the pads to the exacting spec required, but it looks like things are finally moving forward now!

Yes, testing of the 3rd prototype has been perfect, so after one further tiny tweak and assembly they should be available for sale in around 10-14 days.
Three mounting positions (narrow, middle and wide), very low profile so nice and stiff, and a reinforced brake boss to ensure strength and durability 👍
Pads... I'm not certain on this one. Ben & Charlie have been taking care of the TNN side of things. I know there has been good progress this last week though with both CNC companies for backings and pad material supplier: https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/brake_pad_refills/tnn_engineering_btm_refills/c552p14305.html
I am sure my brainpower will be drafted in at some stage to help with V pads 😅

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I nearly pulled the trigger on a 240 for my MTB recently, but 90 EPs will be even better. Glad I waited / forgot now, haha.

Tensioners now available, first batch sold out overnight but we've got some more made up: TartyBikes RD Hybrid Tensioner
Cheeky Disc Protector including a slot (rather than the usual hole) at the axle end so it can be fitted and removed easily. This allows you to use the slot at the bottom as disc straightener tool: TartyBikes RD Disc Protector
'Wideboy' brake booster also now in stock, ready for release of V-Brake adaptors in the near future: TartyBikes RD 'Wideboy' V-Brake Booster

Thank you 🙏
I've never actually heard of Boulhol until just now. That frame and the wheels are absolutely wild! So cool.
-
Glad you are enjoying it!
Went out in one of these at Oulton Park recently and it was a right thing. Felt much more lively than the usual FWD stuff like Golfs etc. Really impressive. -
Well that were reet good 😎 thanks again for leading such a cracking route Luke, definitely keen for another sometime. Although perhaps at a slightly reduced pace as that was pretty mental at times, haha, you are some pedaller dude👌 Anyone else fancy it?

only missing the 'stretch proof treatment', that worth anything?
Quite significant for trials, IME.
A year out of a chain is quite exceptional I would say, for how often you ride and how good you are at destroying stuff 😁 suggest 3-6 months before changing, in future.

Spoiler looks a nice buy. Glad to see you getting use out of the lift too!
Mid March works for me, I'll see what Danny's up to as well...
-
Interesting concept...
I think of myself as pretty tech-savvy and couldn't see on the website information about which orientation these wobble in. Bit skeptical as most of the photos on the site show people riding with SPDs 😅
-
Cheeky little track day at Oulton yesterday. So good!
When do you fancy going playing down the back lanes, Luke? @Paperclip My mate just picked up a 370Z and is keen to get it out properly 😎 Actually I think you met him at Tarty recently, Danny?

Agreed. The guy in the video is as great as the hub, too!
-
How quickly do they get tight? 1 thread? 5 threads?
Are they the fancy nipples with inbuilt threadlock?
I've used the exact same combo myself with no issues, but could be worth potentially sacrificing one of each as a tester - just stick some lube on and wind the f**k out of it, see what happens.
-
Ah that is probably a good shout. As you said, wrestling with those hoses would be no fun!
Mid Jan looking a bit tricky for me, last weekend onwards all good though 👍
-
Perfection 🤌 thanks for sharing, as always!

Sounds awesome, also salivating!*

Ace. Would be great to have a few out - both in terms of people, and a variation in cars! I'd be happy to make it a single day thing if nobody wants to travel miles as us 3 are local enough.
Which kit is it Luke? Can't quite tell from the photo... I'd rather work on something I'm familar with ideally. They all have slightly different suspension designs in a dynamic sense, which affects the ideal static settings, you see. I know Westfields inside out and done a few MNRs and Fishers. If it's a live axle at the rear that's easy and we could do some basis tests to determine how the front reacts dynamically and set up accordingly.
Have heard good things about Phoenix though if you need to go that route, a bit closer to you also?
-
That indoor space look brilliant! You will love the lift 👌😎
Keen for a run out, happy to assist if I can. Cheers Luke!

Interesting... I can't see it working for high loads. A properly penetrated weld will nelt right through the ratchet, leaving the teeth in a mess. So you'd need to have the beat turned right down, and the weld won't attach to the ratchet very well.
I would at least wait until you hear back about warranty

I have one on my dirt jump bike so I hope I won't have any issue with it.
The world will end before the ratchet strips out on that setup 👍

Is that in Chinese Yuan?
If yes, its £150 which sounds about right, depending on sales taxes.
Though if you've paid in MOP, that looks like about £170?
Just trying to figure out if it's a genuine Hope part, in which case you should get sorted out 👍

New gadget released this week, Axle Blockers to ensure rear wheels don't slip forward: https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/other_frame_spares/tartybikes_rd_axle_blocker/c127p14321.html
Can be used in conjunction with the Hybrid tensioner for a super reliable setup on any horizontal dropouts 👍
