The Future

Here it is, The Vallie Components Blog. Not much content yet, but I'll be updating it as I come up with more ideas.

I've been busy working on a spline drive Bash guard chainring spider recently.


I hope Tree is receptive to this idea. (I had to reverse engineer their 9 keyed spline insert from high resolution pictures on the web)

It adresses the problems encountered when running Profile style 48spline 19mm spindle cranks on a fixed gear bicycle. The traditional single bolt does not hold up to the torques generated in both directions due to cranking and backpedalling.
This also has a giant bash guard on it, for the grinding crowd.

...more to come later =]
