Got these prototype levers just a few days ago. .

Got these prototype levers just a few days ago..These pieces were FDM 3D printed from steel filament by @44elf_velos.art and are some amazing pieces!.Check out @basf_forwardam for the materials and specs..Need to machine the bearing seats, M4 threads and then off to the trails for testing..3D printed levers give the possibility to offer customized ergonomics and geometries, partly made at home..One lever is about 50g and pretty heavy, but let‘s see what materials are to come in the future. What an amazing technology for prototypes, there are definetly more coming in the future!.#612_parts #3dprinting #metalprints #prototype #cncbikeparts #cncbrake

Today I received a small stock of @ratiotechnology SR52AXS derailleur cages..Took me less than 5min to install and get my GX AXS to the weight of a X01 AXS..Although saving weight wasn’t my approach on installing it, I am happy to take that advantage..It was more like when I saw the cage, I needed to have one. 🤷🏼‍♂️.SR52AXS in stock!Check the website!.Not on AXS yet? Get in touch to get one for your cable actuated derailleur!.#612_parts #cncbike #cncbikeparts #cncmachined #madeinthelakes

Last few days were busy, but finally found the time tinker a bit..That‘s how it looks like when you don‘t have personal machines..A M4 barrel-nut from a closet to imitate a tool free reach adjust..A newish 3D printed lever that already broke when inserting the bearings..A counter-sunk M5 distance-nut to attach a smaller diameter brakeline for internal routing..Yep, you heard that right! Tool-free reach adjust, new lever and the option for internal routing is coming!Backwards compatibility: check..Still takes some time to get everything tested but in theory, it looks promising and feels pretty good!.#612_parts #cncbrake #cncbikeparts #tinkering

A strong German accent gets you hyped?.We got you covered!.Head over to the @skidsandgiggles podcast and hear me talk about stuff with a nervous voice..Had a great time talking to @pensamtb and @thebrysonian .#skidsandgiggles #612_parts #podcast

Well that was super fast! 😳.A few of these prototypes were made today - no anodization for these pieces..Fitment is on point and ergonomics feel great, at least for my hands..#612_parts #cncbikeparts #cncmachining #cncbrake

Something that was on the very top of my to-do list..Finally found the time to make a few sketches and prints for mounting shifter and brake together..Anybody here with some machine capacity before the holidays? 😅.#612_parts #cncmachining #bikeparts #cncbikeparts

Ever wondered what inspired the chainring design?

Ever wondered what inspired the chainring design?.I‘ll tell you anyways..At my local trails there is always this fun little off-roader waiting, next to the street.It has these classic rims mounted - nothing too fancy but just timeless design.We dedicated a trail name to it, because both the trail and probably the car will not let you down!.Chainrings are available!.#612_parts #612 #cncbikeparts #enduromtb #theptrain

Post2/2 . Packing my stuff for the 3Laender Enduro

Post2/2.Packing my stuff for the 3Laender Enduro Race I skipped a ‚just in case‘ backup brake and committed to trust the prototypes.Of course I had mixed feelings.What if the brakes fail in a steep section?Will the 3D printed clamp break?But taking that step built confidence and trust in the parts..On the first stage I slipped on a wet root and hit the left lever on a branch.That did something I still can not explain yet, but caused the bitepoint to fade away..With only a rear brake and a sketchy feeling on the front brake, I decided to continue the race..I expected the rear brake to overheat constantly and me crashing some more times on the upcoming 5 Stages..The rear brake held up perfectly through the whole day and a quick bleed in the evening fixed the issue with the front brake, and I only had some close calls..Unfortunately, on Stage 2 of 3 on day 2, something broke, the derailleur went into the spokes and got ripped off the hanger, snapped 6 spokes and marked the end of the weekend - DNF.Extremely gutted and annoyed, I packed everything together and went home..Even though I would have preferred to end the race regularly there is still a good and very important point: It wasn‘t a brake failure that ended the race. .#612_parts #cncbikeparts #cncmachining #3Dprinted #handmade

More and more pieces arrive..Just some accessories need to get here..Already tested the very first complete system in a race last weekend..Want to know how this went?.Tune in tomorrow!.Post1/2.#612_parts #cncbikeparts #cncmachining #handmade

While sourcing all the parts to complete the assem

While sourcing all the parts to complete the assembly of 10 brakes, it was overdue to give the brakesystem a go on the bike, in the front and in the back..So hyped with the outcome! Power is always there and modulation feels good.One crucial part are the brakepads. I tested a lot of pads and finally found some, that live up to expectation..While waiting for the remaining parts to arrive, it‘s time to improve the process of assembling the brakes..Assembly and especially Bleeding is very time consuming and all done by hand, mostly in the evening when I find the time..#612_parts #bikeparts #cncbikeparts #habdmade #prototyping
