A certain someone took my mountain bike out while it wasn't fully put together, and the rest is history. Now we need to fix a very messy situation to get it working again.

@tcv4 3 года назад

He shouldn't be too bad. Many carbon frames have a short headtube height. He might have been able to buy a lower profile stem actually and make it work. Some stems are only around an inch tall where is attaches to the steerer tube.

@dabooge 3 года назад

Steer tube can be pressed out and a new one pressed in. I've done it a few times. I own a machine shop so was fairly easy but there are shops that specialize in it.

@IBCMTB 3 года назад

Shorter stack stem (DMR Defy), shorter stack upper headset (slamset or similar), plus some higher rise bars, and he could probably make that work. Still, always sucks when you forget to factor in steerer length!

@dabooge 3 года назад

@@RC-fp1tl there is a company called ND tuned that sells the special press tools to get the job done. You'll need a minimum of 10 ton hydraulic press. I designed and made my own press out tools. That did require a metal lathe and milling machine. I've done a Rockshox revalation and a 2018 Fox 36 so far. The Fox was much easier to do.

@dermax_hd 3 года назад

well you actually ARE changing the properties of titanium when you heat it up to change the colors. Granted its not as much as it is with steel, but there is a slight change. You can actually change the surface color with a specific voltage tho without changing the metal itself. For this you got to dump the piece in baking soda/water solution, connect one pole to the water itself and the other one to the metal, the duration you leave it in for and the voltage determine the color, 15v for example gives you a nice orange/gold while 22v gets you that nice purple. works great!

@7452Michael 3 года назад

Heating titanium this way might not necessarily change its properties. You’d have to heat it to it’s recrystallization temperature to do that. From some quick googling it seems you have to get it to 600-700 F for the oxide layers to form, whereas the recrystallization temp is over 1500 F. So if you’re careful with the torch you won’t be changing the properties at all

@acochran9768 3 года назад

There's no way you're "changing the properties" of either the titanium or the steel by waving a MAPP gas torch at it for a few seconds. All he's doing in the video is putting a little surface finish on the titanium. To change the bulk properties of titanium or steel would require a much larger heat source applied over a much longer time.

@dermax_hd 3 года назад

@@acochran9768 well if you were to actually color the whole crank you would definitely change at least part of the structure of the metal

@dermax_hd 3 года назад

@@7452Michael well with torches like he used, they get to around 4000°F. You'd have to be REALLY careful not to change the structure at least a bit. Probably not even worth mentioning bit I'd still rather use the electric method for a structural part like a crank, collar or similar..

@acochran9768 3 года назад

@@dermax_hd You're just burnishing the surface. No different than anodizing (which is what you describe). To change the structural capacity of Ti or CrMo (crank, frame, whatever) you have to change the microstructure which requires a bunch of stress, or a lot of heat (or both), and/or an aggressive chemical environment that causes some kind of cracking.

@TheNinthPhotography 3 года назад

For forks with short steerer tube, have a look at the Syntace stems. The Flatforce needs only 22mm steerer tube and when turned upside down raises the bar significantly, which replaces those spacers. Or, more conservatively, the Megaforce3 needs 30mm of steerer tube but only has a 6 degree angle, so it won‘t raise the bar so high.

Longer gear ties are the secret for working on forks! Use one to support the fork when you remove the stem and another to hold the bars. Never have a dropped fork again. Similarly, put one through a headset and loop it into a headset remover and it'll prevent the headset from flying across the room when you pop it out.
