La Bourde Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Hi, Tartybikes has developed its own range of products! The brand ist called RD: https://www.tartybikes.co.uk/news/tarty_bikes_launch_a_new_range_of_products/u330.html Love the use of steel and laser cut (think Adam already knows the French brand Boulhol) and the development of lower price components. (some v-brake adapters are upcoming) Such a good news! Thanks Tarty to launch a new brand in this tough times! Wish you the best! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 Thank you 🙏 I've never actually heard of Boulhol until just now. That frame and the wheels are absolutely wild! So cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 (edited) I can't wait to see these products. V-brake adapters are making a comeback it seems as Heatsinkbikes are also making some again. Thank you Adam, we are truly gifted to have someone like you in this sport. Edited March 16 by Canardweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 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 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted Sunday at 12:39 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 12:39 PM As you are working on V-brake adapters, will you also make dedicated pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted Sunday at 04:37 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:37 PM 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 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardweb Posted Monday at 07:25 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 07:25 AM What do you mena they have taken TNN side of things? Is TNN now british? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted Monday at 08:02 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:02 AM 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! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted Tuesday at 03:38 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:38 PM 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 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
