Thanks for the replys... I've been reading yalls posts about the forks and was wondering why... It does seem strange that Trek would use such a heavy and...
Hi, I've been digging through all the past posts on the list today....very interesting reading! I'm considering buying a new Y-Foil frame & building it as time...
my Y was originally built as a tri bike with bullhorns/clipons and d/a barcons... because i sold my other bike, and stopped doing as many triathlons, i...
I bought my Y-foil mostly for triathlons. And once it arrived I quickly bought 2 additional frames. (Thats How much I like it) I am thinking of setting up one...
switched forks to try a threadless setup. 56 cm frame and a QR fork that dropped a full pound from the bike. the bike handles quicker and does not decend as...
I just heard back from Wound Up. They aren't willing (nevermind what their website implies) to do a custom build. Maybe if everyone interested bombarded...
I think perhaps Alpha Q might do it. I worked with the guy (name escapes me) over the phone several times over the past year, even talking to him about this...
Check out bikesportmichigan.com they also have a good article about the difference. They also indicate that novice riders experience the biggest difference in...
John, et al. The main number for True Temper is 1-800-355-TRUE. Ask for the Alpha Q Fork department. You'll probably have to leave a message. I'll try to get...
Hello everyone. I have just started building a Y-foil and after installation of the bottom bracket (Dura Ace BB-7700, 109.5mm) find that the clearances are...
109.5 for double, 118.5 for triples. Original message attached. Hello everyone. I have just started building a Y-foil and after installation of the bottom...
That's three. This'd probably be a 1". Are there any Y-foilers in here who own frames that are 1 & 1/8"?? (PS- Is there a metric value to this. like 2.6cm and...
I havent ever seen anything refering to a 1-1/8 headtube on a YFoil, would have cost too much to retool the assembly line I am sure. Only Threadless and...
Hey everyone! Is anyone interested in purchasing a new 54cm Gold Y-foil frameset (frame/fork)? I will also include a used 1" threaded silver Chris King ...
What is your asking price? I have a red 54cm that I want to strip down and have repainted but I'm waiting on finding a replacement. Thanks for your time. ...
Richard, I'm very happy with my Y-foils stock fork, being a heavy rider, but have appreciated all of the efforts you have put forth on this issue, that so many...
Hi Ron, I'll just put in my two cents. I have the predecessor to the 9.8 - the 9800, and I like it quite a lot. It has XT components and is very light, but...
Okay, ya'll ready for this?! I spoke with the head guy at Alpha Q (he's getting to know me by now...), and our discussion about replacement forks for the...
Awesome research! Peter, I want my bike back now! (Just kidding)... One issue I see with the #1 option, the brake hole wouldnt be in the right place if you...
great news... i'm not sure the demand will be there at the upper end tho. on another note, i've always thought it funny when bike/component manufacturers brag...
Richard, Once again, thank you for all your efforts on our behalf. Conceptually, I'm with you on the best-of-the-best option/approach; but I doubt we'll get...
AHAA!! AN aerospace engineer!!! THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING!! Now I have a few questions.. You're right; NACA was the predecessor to NASA, and they focused on ...
So, with that in mind, would everyone be satisfied with 43 or 44mm?? I never thought about the brake deal. Hmmm. I'll have to get A-Q to re-think that a bit. ...
Mach 1.3? it is actually much worse than that even... the majority of aircraft airfoils are for a much different flow regime than bicycles (not even...
