My wife and I had some of the white OnZa tires on our bikes in the mid 90's ... they looked cool, they wore out fast, and I guess the traction was ~ok~ ...
Ive been passionate about 3d printing for a while now. Since I started biking, revel bikes stood out to me as an innovative bike brand, with their CBF suspension platform and prototypes 3d printed revel rodeos. I bought a rail29 last week and I can’t wait to receive it! Definitely keeping an eye out for the rodeo to get one when it comes out
I am stoked about the new manual. Just got an e-mail today that it is on its way!! Love the show and really like the addition of Owen to the channel. Hmmm..wonder if I can get glasses here in Canada like his?
I use mini mullet 76er, best set up I've experienced. I'm small 171cm 75kg ish and the set up is perfect for me. If the 27.5 and 26 are dead, and that's ok for me. Much cheaper to buy parts😊
being a shorter, lighter rider, the max tire I can comfortably use on 700c/29er rims is a 40c tire for gravel riding. In order to make heavy MTB tires maneuverable I have to go with 27.5 rims.
#askgmbntech Wax vs. oil for mountain bike chains? Hot, dry, and dusty riding conditions. Keep up the fine work. GMBN (along with Park Tool) is my go-to for tech vids. Many thanks.
I think it would be great. Currently, titanium bikes are more expensive and less advanced than their carbon fiber counterpart due to the difficulty in manufacturing. I've wanted a Lynskey fs140 for years but it only has a horst link 4 bar while my dream bike that I got was cheaper and came with a full floater that did all sorts of wonderful things like reducing the pedal bob to a negligible level. Plus if we can take car parts as an example like the ones from the czinger 21c, 3d printed stuff can look really amazing when computer simulations are used to create the optimum shapes
It should be able to reduce the material cost by reducing waste! That's such a good example, plus if you add AI into the mix it could potentially reinvent mountain biking as we know it!
I think for hardtails, the benefits of 29" outweigh the benefits of 27.5" unfortunately. I'm sure there will still be brands creating 27.5" hardtails until the end of time though! 🤘
To me, 3D printing is a great way for brands to iterate while creating new parts. They can toss ideas in the CAD, then print in a "few" hours, where "traditionnal manunufacturing" would take many days/weeks and probably cost more. Also, I'm not sure that 3D printing is suitable for mass production. It's not a process that scales as well as others (molding, cutting...).
Printers are getting faster and cheaper. Not up to injection molding speed but it lets you not have tons of molds and keeps a manufacturer versatile with less space. Of course, you need a lot of printers. *A SRAM Red cassette takes over an hour to machine but they still sell plenty of them.
I've seen a video here on youtube of a guy testing the strength of different materials and the 3D printed Titanium part was better than the CNC Titanium part which was shocking to both him and me .
It's too expensive for mass production, but it's a method for small scale production and for prototypes. While it will likely not replace casting and forging it's a complement for parts on more expensive bikes or on prototypes. Airbus is already using the technologgy for brackets for their Aluminium fuselages.
@@simonm1447 agreed. I worked for an additive company that was making all sorts of parts for aerospace, but they always finished the parts with CNC since additive can't achieve high dimensional accuracy or surface finishes required by industry.
@@willhoonforfood4463 the advantage for aerospace is you can make parts which are lighter, since it can produce hollow parts you could not make with casting in the same way or you can also make them like bones with a stable outer hull and some lighter material inside. Even if you give them a CNC finish you still have the weight savings. For aerospace the cost is not the most important criteria as long as it saves money later during service.
#quiz #awnser Thermoplastics can melt under heat after curing while thermoset plastics retain their form and stay solid under heat once cured ( at least that is what google told me 🙂)
#AskGMBNTech My riding buddy got a Bike Fit for his road bike. He's insufferable talking about it all the time. I'm riding a flatbar commuter e-bike on the weekdays to blast around my city. My MTB time is urban riding a few couple nights a week, and trail riding most weekends. I ride road every once in a while on the weekends. Would I benefit from a bike fit? Do I have to get a fit for all my bikes or can I use the results of one fit of all my bikes?
Home 3d printing is a fad imo. However if home printing improves drastically this could change. Currently most of the printed stuff is not durable enough for long term use.
Home 3D printing is very useful if you know how to use it. I use my Printers all the time to fix things and solve issues around the house. But of course if all you know how to do is print decorative little pieces then it's kinda useless besides the hobby aspect. 3D prints can also be very durable but it requires different design considerations than injection moulding or Machining.
3D printing is just another tool. it has benefits and it has problems. The biggest problem with 3D printing is the fact that you still have to design the thing you're making and while you can buy a 3D printer very cheaply the skills to actually design a product aren't available on Amazon. But just like there are still blacksmiths 3D printing isn't going to all of a sudden make every other manufacturing option obsolete it will have its place in the toolbox just like the rest of the tools.
For sure you will see more and more 3D printing in MTB. I wouldn't be surprised if we see hole bike frame printed from probably aluminum or titanium. More so when some uses AI program to then generate said bike frame. A frame using this way would look like nothing else out there. The only current problem with 3D printing is production volumes. 3D printing simply can't match the production volumes of normal methods. This is why more boutique brands are using 3D printing like Atherton bikes.

Amazing! Let us know how it looks when you get it. I'm sure you'll be able to find the somewhere. 🤔

Does 3D Printing Have A Future In MTB?

Hans Rey is great; but, what about Spanish rider Ot Pi??? Saw both compete in Worlds at Mammoth Mountain in the eighties...Ot ruled!
Thermoset means once it’s set it’s done. Thermoplastic can be reheated and reshaped.
I remember Cotic holding onto 26" for as long as they could. Surprised to see them announce the death of 27.5" so early.
I think for hardtails, the benefits of 29" outweigh the benefits of 27.5" unfortunately. I'm sure there will still be brands creating 27.5" hardtails until the end of time though! 🤘
Onza still do white porcupines.... and they clean up just fine.
I think the additive manufacturing is the future. It is great for prototyping and low waste manufacturing.
Hopefully better for the planet and our wallets! 🌎

That is very interesting! 🤔
Need a Blake Builds Anna's Garage.
Arn't the PIVOT ones CNC'd...Not printed..!!!
Correct! Our mistake
Additive manufacturing will never replace subtractive methods (fight me), but it’s hardly a fad.

While it will likely not replace casting and forging it's a complement for parts on more expensive bikes or on prototypes.

thermoset is a phatic that when it is molded becomes a crystalline structure with strong chemical bonds that cannot be broken to it's original state.

Just like stick welded steel or manually filed aluminium. It takes an industrial machine to make an industry grade product🤷♂

Thermoset - molded once and done. Thermoplastic can be remelted after molded and cured.
If anyone thinks 3D printing is 'just a fad' - that just reflects your ignorance of it as a tool and how to use it properly.
another 27,5 bites the dust 😪
Onza still mmakes a white porcupine
Wanted a cotic full sus. No 27.5 = no money from me
Should of bought a Cotic bike sooner brother😢

DIRTSUIT £450...WTF....!!
3d printing is the future deal with it.
Wrong channel to be talking about Motor bikes!😤
3D printing is garbage. I only buy bike parts that are handmade by a Nord in Whiterun.
I got some Pride Points.... woooohooo
