[RBW] Re: NYC Century on Cheviot

Hey Brad - no, no food co-op for me...haven't actually seen another Cheviot around, to my surprise. I guess it's scary to lock up a riv in the city, if I had my way I'd get mine sand-blasted and let it get a little rusty to potentially deter thieves (and it looks beautiful, I think) CT

Wow, nice job. I never thought the five boroughs ride was a century but makes since when I look at the GPS map you posted. I had the same trouble with my chain dropping to the outside when I made my triple crank into a 1 x 9. I'm running a 36 tooth chainring that I picked up at the LBS it's

Lee I agree on your compression remarks On UTS and Ys, I was only pointing out heat treatment affects both the UTS and the Ys. So when vendors show increased UTS due to either heat treatment or a slight change in alloying, or both, the UTS and Ys increase. I think the real question is how

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver Tubing Info

Chris I suggest it is the UTS, the stress where it breaks. TT Versus has a UTS of 110,000 psi (1ksi = 1,000 psi). John Hawrylak Woodstown NJ On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 6:39:40 PM UTC-4, Chris Lampe 2 wrote: > Interesting discussion on a topic I know nothing about. My 84 Trek with >

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver Tubing Info

Hi John, Yield strength and UTS is typically fixed in material. If I am understanding what you have written so far, RBW from a liability standpoint would design bicycle frames to not exceed 107 ksi. Any stress past this point would result in a deformed frame although capacity is still there. Also

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver Tubing Info

Interesting discussion on a topic I know nothing about. My 84 Trek with Reynolds 501 ATB tubes has a sticker that says "120,000 PSI Strength" How is that interpreted? Is that enough information to even know anything about it's strength? On Tuesday, September 19, 2017 at 5:29:08 PM

Re: [RBW] Re: Silver Tubing Info

Lee I agree, the yield stress reflects the max for design, you want to keep the stress in the elastic region. Typically Yield increases proportionally as UTS increases, e.g., a Columbus Niobium tube has a UTS = 152 to 167 ksi with a Yield = 107 ksi. The Columbus has a 55% higher yield and

"It is a nice bike,however...photos probably don't do it justice" Absolutely true, but Ryan probably should've been harsher on those photos. They're really really really bad (specifically that overall shot). And if it was a 68 I'd care more, but a custom should have more frame specs, top tube
