More Bashing

I've been in contact with Sam @ Tree Bike Co about their 9 keyed spider, designed by Phil Wasson of Super Rat Machine works. Sam is still undecided about whether or not to make that part 'open source'. Still, I've gone ahead and continued optimizing the design for use on a fixed gear.

Its hard to cut down a 10mm thick pie plate and have it both strong and light.
I've changed the look around from the previous Tree inspired design, to a more conventional 5 sided look. Material has been removed where it makes the most sense.



Its funny that I've been so inspired to work on a project that wouldn't really be for me. I don't ride my track bike in this manner, so this part may never go to production. My BMX is for stunts, and my track bike is for training. Just who would I be making this for?

The community.
The people that are pushing bicycles beyond their intended capabilities.
I like those people.
