Even if it’s just waterjet, setup will kill you on one-off stuff (at least from my experiences).
If you can wait, it can save literally hundreds. Otherwise there’s the shapeways option posted earlier. I sent Mitch your email, regardless.If you legitimately have a 2001 frame with IS tabs, like this, as an example, why do you want to put flat mount brakes on it? Plenty of options for post mount brakes with an adapter like the Shimano SM-MA90-R160P/S, as an example.
EDIT: missed the part about 650b, but this adapter is intended for earlier frames with the “Hayes” 22mm disc mounts, not the 2001 frames with IS tabs.
Done, @heeroyuy01195.
Done, Mitch has email. Haven’t been able to fix messaging yet but maybe this week I’ll have some time for it…
Sorry, direct/private messaging isn’t working at the moment, or easy image/file attachments to posts. 🤦♂️
Working on it…Yeah, sorry Dylan. I thought I had everything but there were a few manual migration items that I apparently missed.
Thanks for putting this together; any thoughts on the questions I had below?
You should now be able to upload the most common file types for this sort of thing also. *drinks*Very cool, Dylan. Sorry I’m late to the party but I was interested in the dimensional differences you selected relative to 737’s mix. To sum up, it looks like the differences are:
- 737’s bracket is 7mm tall and yours is 5mm
- The slotted holes in your part are offset 4mm in the x direction relative to 737’s part
- Your slots are offset 1.5mm in the y direction while 737’s are offset .55mm.
Not that I doubt anything either of you have done; I’m just trying to make it all make sense and know that all frames are going to be a bit different thanks to the bike biz’s “standards” and manufacturing “tolerances.”
Got it, was just curious. I think anybody that’s a serious buyer knows that photos don’t do these justice. Good luck with the sales!
Not going to doubt me but make a bunch of sarcastic comments about .002mm?
What’s the point of asking a question if you already “know” the answer? I agree .2mm diametrically (not .002mm, maybe you meant .008″) is nothing, especially the way tolerances often work in the bike business. Also, if you’re not the original owner it’s not unheard of for people to ream out the seat tubes to get more readily available 27.0 or even 27.2mm posts.
Good luck finding a post that fits and won’t snap on you.
You’re correct on the frame fabrication. I believe they did the finishing in-house (hence the name) but that is speculation on my part, and I know there was a fair amount of re-work on some models, particularly the gold. I don’t know where that was handled. I don’t know about final assembly though. Sorry for the slow reply.
