Small hands have that advantage

That comes from running the tool up and down the shank. Nothin' like an AvE video to give you the real deal. And a good vijayo.

due to this, eggyolk works as aluminium specific loctite alternative for sticky situations.

thats a good piece of safety advice. One day when i get a home setup this might save my bacon. electric motors dont care - electric motors just want to torque. Your arm being in the way is a non factor. So much respect for the power behind large shop tools. In addition people need to have a foot mounted kill switch for machining equipment. if in doubt , kick it off

What’s the saying.... Safety third 😆

@@OneMouseGaming seen a 300lbs gorilla get sucked into one lathe and made into soup within seconds..then I realized why you dont wear gloves or sleeves or anything...foot kill switch sounds like a damn good idea.

Frame will bust on next big jump, that pin is zthere for reasonn.

Bearing surface in that bore of the shock, as already pointed out as being chowdered, is the next point of failure. Other than that, you'd more than likely need unrealistic forces to damage either the shock or frame. Aluminum pin was fine, except where the diameter shrunk for the threads, which also sacrificed the threads in the frame when the pin was damaged; which is also why threading into composites is not a good idea and not a good design choice. Unless you have a whale riding this bike through a trail with substantial drops, it should be fine for the rest of it's usable life. Though, if the shock is frequently being bottomed out, it more than likely needs replaced, or adjusted assuming this one can be, but judging by how the bearing surface is already wearing, it probably needs replaced. The pin itself should've gone through the frame completely and secured by either a nut or retaining clips. Aluminum would have still worked without issue in this case. This bike just has very poor design choices.

I'd say the pin that's topwise of the shock.

@Captain MufDyven While true, you have to keep in mind manufacturing costs. Those two parts would be more expensive than the one used. And the one used is more expensive than either through-pin design.

@@xaytana From what I saw in the video the frame had a threaded aluminium bushing insert that was half eaten from the failure, so he could have done another threaded bushing and use some epoxy glue...

come on, bloke. "perpetually drunk Australian" is just using three words when you could use one, eh?

Well, d'ya think Uncle Bumblefuck would shy away if it was just a blown seal? Au contraire! Hon hon hon!

Next one will be arsenic....

Except thread engagement length for optimum joint strength depends on material. Steel is typically 1x to 1.5x diameter, and softer materials need a longer length for optimum strength Problem here is that the aluminum-composite joint was only to keep the pin in place, so strength really wasn't a factor; you could achieve the same pin using a through-frame design with retaining clips, thread engagement does not matter in this use. On the manufacturing side of things, sure, 1.5x diameter might be fairly typical. But again, this joint wasn't designed in that way, so it doesn't necessarily follow optimal thread engagement. And if it does follow optimal thread engagement, that number for carbon composites is more than likely more than 1.5x. Threading into composites in a high-force application is a bad idea anyways, as proven by this product's failure. And this isn't a German-only manufacturing decision, any product with proper engineering would follow optimal numbers for thread engagement, Chinese products more than likely also target optimal thread engagement; anything not doing this is either bad engineering, laziness, or planned obsolescence.

@@xaytana I'm sure you know this based on your thorough comment, but a clip-retained through pin would always cause a God awful rattle in this application. They needed the rigid mechanical connection offered by the threads. Best.

@@xaytana that's how reinforced concrete is designed; anchorage is based on embedment. More embedment equals more force required to pull it out. Bar shape type would equal type of thread in this situation

I wonder is that why they went for the finer thread pitch: They were compensating for a lack of depth, trying to get those extra turns in?

​@Mitchell Pearce Easy solution would be a weather/water resistant material that the retaining clips can crush against. Still a better solution than what was originally used. Or you could go with the other suggestion I had of putting threads on the through-pin and using an external nut to keep it in place. Either way, threading into composites is a bad idea, and the diameter reduction in the aluminum pin is what caused the initial failures here. @hphoto Reinforced concrete is much different than what's mentioned here. Any length beyond the optimal number is just excess and a waste of material, hence why it's referred to as optimal. Not to mention the entire geometric difference here, reinforced concrete typically uses lattices of material tied in place, while threads are only a helix. You can't just compare the two.

Radon crap engineering. Invented for one season then buy new model.

And in this case, only one of the three was chosen.

@@Benedocta FWIW, Radon specifically makes very affordable bikes for what they are. Not "cheap", but a lot cheaper than, say, a bike with the same specs from most other well known brands (for people from the US, think Trek, Specialized etc). So all the Tschörman Enginerding must be done in the design phase because the bike is straight from Taiwan like any other brand.

@@ska042 Okay, didnt know that, thanks.

cerebellum, Specialized USA brand changed and sent all their design work to Taiwan. That is why the US engineering director at that time, quit and did his own stuff. Eventually he started his own helmet company called Kali.

Hey, I think I've got one of them - always wondered what it was for!

@@CMC-NFG it goes into the gear set on the lead screw drive 👍 it adapts between metric at 127 ( ie 1" = 25.4mm 127 as a ratio ..... it allows for turning metric pitches on an imperial machine..... all the info is available.... you'll find them on the usual scumbags (Ebay) new or used as well 👍

er, sort of. If done this way, you have to unwind the screw at the end of every pass. it's a work-around. you can't go back and pick up. The only true way to cut metric threads is with a metric lead screw and matching split nut...

Yeah, it's a work around. But it does work. It would be nice to have a brake to stop the spindle but you Can disengage the half nut, stop, reverse then drop in on the same number as you pass it on the reverse.
