Show me Your Tuning!
Moderator: robbosmans
I did the same a few years ago, probably the easiest DIY part you can make.
Instead of the Ti bolt, use the steel bolt while you adjust the headset, then just get a nylon bolt once its all adjusted and tight - the nylon bolt just holds the cap on for cosmetic reasons.

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Guys I've actually got parts to tune my seatpost up like the one in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=112588
Anyone knows if this is a good idea or not? I've tried emailing the OP on how it held up, no luck

If you are working on a non-aero seatpost, I would just buy a carbon tube and start from there...I've done it, got my tube here: http://www.rockwestcomposites.com
Payed something like $25 for a 12'' tube!
Mine is holding up perfectly after year and 1/2 of use so far (on a MTB!!!)

Design improvements for now guys...more than be tied to weight saving, the question to ask here is how impactful 3D printing can be. But to give you an idea in advance, my current design is at 327g for the full cassette 11-41T. Crossing my fingers to be a strong design!

3D printing is excellent...
Glass Half Full scenario... fast improvements and innovation
Glass Half Empty scenario... fast copying and stealing
Glass Half Full sounds good to me and alot of fun

Are you going to add shaping and ramping to the teeth design

Many different ways to see 3d printing...I agree. All I know is that is empowering anyone with some CAD skills to get their hands onto their wishes....like me

You genius!!! Loved the zip tie tunning! Will do the same to my all cradle to spare my carbon rails!!!

If it's creaking it means there's a point which is flexing or moving, causing the creak. Mine never made a sound thankfully....
I did snap one, it was 15 minutes prior to race start on a fairly important one too. My now boss and I rigged it with 2 cable ties and a chain tool. Made it through the race somehow... It broke because it was a new one I hadn't tested and was built in a hurry for the race to lower my saddle height...
If it looks stupid but works, it ain't stupid. This was however, very stupid

Hahahaha, totally misunderstood what you did, yet you gave me a that good idea. Wrap two zip ties on a all cradle along the length of where the rail sits, protect your carbon, wait for smud cradle to arrive! Happy days!
