Life's good. I'm engaged, out of the pharmacy business, done with school, almost a fireman, and getting ready to move. So yeah. I've been a little busy. I'm gonna hold off until I can get that frame. Turner pushed the ship date back almost a year. There were some significant issues with the protos.

One more: We already tried the huge flange thing in the 90's. Ohhhhh the 90's: The time of "standards" used by 1 company, neon colors, spandex, and a million ill conceived engineering "revolutions." When you build a wheel with a large diameter hub flange it increases the angle of the spoke and increases the stiffness of the wheel and the spokes because it changes the angle that the forces work on the spokes. It also significantly increases the strength of the hub flange because it's pulling more to the side of the flange rather then straight out when there's less metal. The problem is the spokes sit at too much of an angle in relation to the rim. This puts all the pull of the spokes on 1 side of the spoke hole. Failures of the spoke holes were very common with large diameter hubs back in the day.

First of all; that is not a polygon. Any engineer or company that decided that should be called a polygon can't be trusted to handle the most basic engineering tasks because that's day 1 trigonometry. Also: WWII tank transmissions? Give me a fvcking break. When we entered WWII we only owned 1 model; the M2. It was terrible. So they rushed the development of two M3s, an M4, and, eventually an M5. All of them had MAJOR design flaws and were phased out soon after the war. The M5 was so dangerous to it's crew that several men deserted rather that be forced to work in that death trap. Bragging about copying their design is stupid. Almost every car manufacturer in the world has realized that splines are the way to go on torque transmission shafts. Why can everyone just get over their own bullshit and use a small spline with a pinch bolt ala shimano? It CLEARLY works.
I'm sick of all this bullshit over engineering. Over engineering sucks. Can't we just not mess with things that already work and spend our time on actual problems?

Having just got home from the single greatest musical experience of my life, I can't thank you enough for introducing me to Claypool. I'm still speechless....

hey, just wondering about your thoughts on fork oil with seal swell being used in the lowers and air pistons of a rockshox fork.
