Rat Klein pinnacle build - Selfmade parts content!
- Thread starter Thias
- Start date
As I'm getting ready for a little mtb meet in Lübeck I want to attend, I have to get the bike ready.
Last time I was fiddling with the bike, I found a crack in the seat tube an I had to look into that problem. Turns out the seat post I had used was a little bit to small in diameter. And while playing with differen sizes I managed to brake my self made seat post binder. ;(
Maybe I should have used steel instead of Aluminium for this part.
Well. It did last a few rough years though.
And becaus I learn from my mistakes, I'll use Aluminium again.
The reasoning behind that is, that the lever (that is wearing against that Aluminium part that now broke) is much more complicated to make. It is made from stainless steel and has some (complicated for me) excentric features. I'd rather remake this part than the lever.
On to the machine, then.
Half an hour later and the Klein has a working seatpost sqewer once again.
For a seat post, I am currently using a Use Alien. As it is the only one with the correct diameter I have in stock.
I also swaped the stem and bar to something more upright. Now I'm ready for the meet.
Look forward to some (hopefully) exciting pictures.
Brilliant
