      You should first make a prototype maybe out of wood. If you go that far making the carbon fiber version isn't much more involved. It's basically cutting and gluing. The most important and expensive step when making custom things is the blue print and research and and development focus on that and the rest is easy. That's why the Chinese brands are taking over they skipped the hardest most expensive part

    This sparked the thought---"Would aluminum tent poles work?" They're cheaper, lighter weight, come in tons of colors, are reasonably rigid, would be easier to work with, and there are some stock fittings that could be repurposed for something like this.

    Sidenote: - cutting carbon fibre is a potentially hazardous pastime. As one who is missing a bit of lung from asbestos related disease, attributed to too much time spent decades ago in an Air Force cockpit, take plenty of precautions.
    I love your bags! My old and somewhat sketchy aerodynamic theory comes to mind: For the rear, you'd need an inordinately long bag shaped to reattach laminar airflow, or Kamm tail to create a turbulent 'bubble'. For a front mounted bag, it is of course feasible. I'd steer away [pun intended] handlebar bags as both the centre of gravity and centre of aerodynamic pressure[s] would be well forward creating handling difficulties - especially in a crosswind.

      Hi, I'm doing my best to answer all the questions, I'm still a small enough TH-camr for that.
      The middle rods are only there to stiffen up the lateral flex and also to provide a platform for bags to sit on, so they didn't need to be that strong.
      I plan to test the tensile strength test of the rod-nut-bolt combo by stringing up the eyelet in each end and seeing how much weight the epoxy can hold. I have some leftovers to play with. Thus far I have pulled as hard as I can with a string loop at each end, and they didn't budge.
      I'd love to see a carbon-sheet rack, but that is for someone else to tackle! Please send me a link if you see one.
      I'm testing it out in a 1000k gravel race in a few weeks, so watch this space and I'll let you know how it holds up.

      @@charkes1936 Hi, there are no stupid questions. Stupid people don't ask questions and remain stupid for ever.
      The M6 eye bolts have M5 holes (these work really well for the standard M5 mounting holes on the bike).
      That meant that the Flat Head Blind Rivet Nut had to be M6. Which in turn meant that the tube was 9mmID and 11mmOD.
      That meant the gold coloured bolts that fit into the ends of the cross brace had to be M6. So the Eye bolts didn't fit.
      There may be an M6 eye bolt with an M6 hole but i couldn't find one.
      Hope that helps.😀

    Very nice! So is it stiff enough while riding? What kind of carbon tubes and which glue did you use? I built a lightweight aluminum rack for my race bike which has no rack mounts. It hold for three days bikepacking. Then it broke at home because the bike fell over 😂 my second approach was to buy a common bike rack and only build some sturdy adapters from aluminum. Works great but looks meh.

    • @SladeTakalaLamey

    • @Primifluous
      @Primifluous 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Your tubus is worth the cost and the grams because it tested and won't break under load nor because of being slightly bumped. Carbon DIY jobs like this are cool but impractical to use because you're never going to be sure how well it holds up unless you're an engineer and have a lab to test its strength/fatigue.

    • @SedatedPigeon
      @SedatedPigeon 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Primifluous it is reassuring to know it's going to work as intended as long as I stay within the weight limit. The DIY rack still has it's value for lightweight bikepacking, just need to conduct visual inspection periodically to check for cracks. Maybe even build one that can be disassembled and packed as spare or when not in use since it's so light.

    I know it's a cheeky jab at tailfin, but there is no way your rack holds up those 40lbs on a rough decent for years of use. There is a massive difference between static load and dynamic load.
    Awesome design though! Sid eto side loads might be an issue, I would ad cross members from the down truss to the opposite horizontal truss to stiffen it.
