Anyone have any recomendations for a kid trailer that would fit a long-easy? Would any trailer that would fit a regular bike work on a long-easy? Thanks, Paul...
I've used a Burley D'Lite on my SWB with no problem. I think the back end of the SWB and Long Easy are almost identical, and that is what matters for the...
Thanks for the tip. I'm beginnig to think it dosen't really matter what trailer I get (mechanically, anyway), since they all attach at the rear wheel axle...
I would recommend using 4130 Chrom Moly steel. It has a high yield strenth and be strong enough. If weight of the bike is not a problem try 4130 and increase...
Hello everyone. I am a trained welder/fabricator, and I have been doing the bike thing for some time. I don't have a website up yet, but it's comeing real...

Hi All, I haven't been to the site for awhile so I was pleasantly surprise to see my bent featured on the start page. Here in Ohio we are still flirting with...
New bent group for Canadians Just letting members know that there is a new yahoo group for people who are laid back and bent! So all you recumbent minded...
There are these "welding rods" that you can get that enable one to "weld" aluminum with a regular propane torch. Hypothetical question, could one build a...
Unless this is a new type of rod all you need is aluminum rod to weld aluminum. The difficult part is to learn when the pieces are the right temperature to...
These rods (and I have some in my posession) are a low temperature alloy. They can be used with a regular garden variety propane torch. The main thing is to...
The best thing to clean those aluminum rods with is a Scotch Bright scrubbing pad. They won't corrupt the rods and they clean very well. chrysalis_reborn...
I notice from the sites that this is technically a brazing technique, not welding, in that you do not actually melt the base metal. This must be how they get...
Well I just placed my order for plans for the SWB today. I will probably get some version of the pre-bent tube kit, but I want to look over the plans before I...
It's interesting that their site says the following but they can't honor our group request not tot spam.....(Legal warning to spammers - we're aggressive about...
Hi All, Maybe they don't see the irony! Well as long as they keep spamming us I'll keep banning them. As a rule do you want me to continue to delete the...
I appreciate your moderation efforts! It's hard work I know as I own a bunch of yahoo groups myself. I usually ban and delete that keeps my groups clean for...
Getting the prebent chainstays seems like a good deal. The spec'd steel is very difficult to bend. Only one place in Cincinnati was able to bend it and they...
How cool to finally take a ride on my first bent, ...and I made it myself; with a lot of help! It felt so wobbly. I'm chalking it up to never riding a bent...
Good job! I am in the middle of installing a sprinkler system at my house, but once that is complete - the bent will be on the bench. Have you shot any...
I have decided to buy as many prebent parts as Dom offers. With my limited time, I want to bypass the bending step and get right into it. Burke Olathe, KS...
Hi Benderbinder, Congratulations. That first always feels good but the second feels better and as for the third - pure joy. I wouldn't worry to much about the...
Thanks I built the frame for uss but when I built it up I decided to put it together with oss. After reading serveral places that it can take a while to get...
