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...
can i use it and what diameter and also what about titanium anyone know the costs. also what angle should my head tube be at considering i am going to run 26"...
Hello all. In building bentechs, I have always strayed from a few bits of the plans. Mainly because I am lousy at reading blueprints, even though these are...
Hi altonandpeggy, The bent in question was built by recumbent_man. You can see more pictures in his photos folder - recumbent_man's ride. Here's his last...
Built the bike to plan, with 20" front wheel and fork and adjusted the boom to match leg length. During trial run, when pedals in downward position or...
Is this happening during a turn? If so and during a small turning circle then it is normal. Most of your turns will be within 5 degrees and your foot will...
Dan, Seems like the plans call for longer tubing than is needed. This was you have enough material to bend them. After bending you would cut to length. I...
Hey, all. I built the LongEasy, and am looking into bike computer options. The natural place to mount one seems to be on the end of the front derailer(sp!)...
I have the same problem and have decided to replace my 20" front wheel and fork with a 16" fork and wheel. M. Wike montedwall <montew@...> wrote: Built...
Pulled out the boom a little and also teaching myself to lean into the turns instead of relying on the wheel. Must say for my first build it surprises me how...
