Capricorn Posted February 22, 2010 Share the guys who do machining using lathes and CNC machines etc. btw: doesn't your school have a machine shop? I bet you can have it made there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted February 22, 2010 Share  let me ask devon at action cycling tomorrow. he once mentioned having hangars/dropouts machined for his Xtension, which means he might know someone who can do it for you too.   Wonder though if there any hubbers out there who can do this sort of thing?Capricorn2010-02-22 15:23:16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder though if there any hubbers out there who can do this sort of thing?[/quote'] ...hmm...  well, DHK do you still have a specimen drop-out? One would need to "backward-engineer" it. Then if it's a flat profile, one could get it laser-CNC'd. We got guys that our firm uses for that kinda stuff... and it's reasonable. Put it this way... I can get 2 custom rotors cut for the price that an LBS sells you 1 . So yeah... if you still have an example of one, I could do the CAD work for the CNC guys.patches2010-02-23 00:13:28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownhillingKing Posted February 23, 2010 Share Okay I will buy one. Then send you the old one. But what sort of metal will you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted February 23, 2010 Share I'll have to do some research as to what is currently used. I may go with that... or cos it's for a DH rig, and not for a weight-weenie, we can go with something more robust like 410 Stainless Steel, or S32001 Duplex Steel.

your_name_here Posted February 23, 2010 Share No. for a drop out you use a fairly soft metal. Their is logic to it. Rather have a broken drop out than a bent frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that they play a similar role to shaft keys. Well, best bet is probably to see what the manufacturers use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownhillingKing Posted February 23, 2010 Share Not on a DH bike as the wheel is hold in place by the drop outs.
