New Video — Building the Front Triangle
New video series! building the front triangle.
Live build: tacking up the front triangle.
In this episode of our live build we tack up the front triangle of the frame and spend some time on the seat post insert and why its size matters. We use a 31.6 mm insert, the mountain bike size (a road bike takes 27.2 mm), for a touch more rigidity around the seat post. You will also see us tack the joints, talk through the frame geometry and rough out a rack and net at the back for carrying shopping. The frame is left raw at this stage, with no finishing yet.
