Alex Dark Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Packages came , woo! Ti bolts, carbon tube and resin. Bit tight on material haha, just managed to eek out the last of my 7075. Both flanges machined an drilled , axle and spacers and new rim from tarty and I'll have a bike again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 What do you use to bond the Carbon to the alloy flanges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Click the first photo and once zoomed in, you can see the name of the 2 part resin on the applicator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Soooo, front hub mk2 has been pretty well beaten and still very much in one piece so cue rear hub mk1! Widest flange spacing I could reasonably get away with ( whilst being symmetrical ) M10 ti fun bolts 7075 for shell and axle and spacers 28/30 carbon fibre shell Vudu glu to stick it all together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted August 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Keeping things in line after bonding All assembled looking pretty Finished weight 184gr including bolts , which makes it the 3rd lightest Hub on tarty 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 you should do one that has the cog included in the right part. hub and (fixed) cog all machined out of one piece. i guess that would be superlight and rides awesome.

Mark W Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 The only thing with that is that a lot of alloy sprockets don't really last all that long, so it wouldn't be ideal in a long term sense. I imagine it'd also be gigantic ballache to make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Very nice wish I had access to machines and knowledge to make stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 In reply to jeff, exactly what mark said haha Cheers dman Built it and give it a pasting yesterday and seems all gravy. Loads stiffer than the tr it replaces which is always nice, and far better chain line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 You'd also have to get pretty crafty threading the spokes through Looks really cool!Really satisfying riding parts that you made, so it must be even nicer when they look nice too! Haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix_HBtrials Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Love the idea of M10 bolts to have a bigger axle and bearings. Really nice products. I wish I had a lathe, once I get a house I will buy one and put in the garage, must be the best feeling to ride your own stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff costello Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The only thing with that is that a lot of alloy sprockets don't really last all that long, it's always the damn little things. so titanium? You'd also have to get pretty crafty threading the spokes through i was more thinking about something for mods, a 12 tooth (or a 10er for me), so that wouldn't be a problem i think.

Perhaps not with a 10 (or wider-than-usual flanges), but with a 12 it's still pretty awkward on most modern-ish hubs. Gotta get some pretty serious bends on the go.
