Few months since our last sign of life, almost ashamed!
But only “almost», as we have been working quietly:

two buy groups have been concluded with many happy owners of our unique gadgets,
and our four Towers are being put to the test with seriousness and determination … and a little naughtiness!

While Giamaica moves essentially on white roads … sometimes snow … Fedro does his best to put it to the test with urban enduro sessions and runs, complete with good falls, in the woods.
But the toughest tests are faced in Italy:
Alessandro (btw: thanks for the fotos!!) is off-the-road again, and if that was not enough, Mirko has already taken it to the first Rally event (Rally del Garda ), he managed to do quite a few damages to the bike but not to the Tower … And he will soon try again with another event, «Sterrare è Umano»!

So far, no structural or design weaknesses have shown up, and some modifications have been made that make it even more pleasant and functional … and lightweight!
If this continues, those who have expressed interest may receive an email as early as the end of the month!

It is useless:
even after three prototypes, their assembly tests, and the changes these indicated, going to install what we believed to be the final tower in addition to the successes (our “spider” lets itself be installed exactly as planned and desired) something didn’t add up!
We won’t go into details, suffice it to say that the supercazzola squared did not emulsify with the quantum slammer, but it is once again a demonstration of how a few mm in the wrong place can invalidate an entire project …

Problem identified and solved, at least our first test specimen,
parts already in our possession modified, which is why we talk about prototypes and testing 😉 ,
and piece with the new design ordered-which is also likely to look better! – to test its functionality:
all without consistent delays on our schedule!
On the other hand, the assembly instructions (yes: clearly we are preparing them!) are practically complete and by March all our prototypes will have reached the testers and we will move on to phase 2!

Nice to meet you, gorgeous!

And they have finally arrived in all their glory!

CNC machined and black anodized they have all the features we wanted:

• Both adjustable in length by 10 mm + in either direction;
• Brake lever adjustable in height 15 mm above or below the original position:
  With absolutely unique mechanics our exclusive feature!
• thanks to a targeted shifting of the attachments, the shift lever also has a wider range in height adjustment than the original;
• shift lever tip slightly inclined to allow it to be closed more easily in case of falls … especially when stationary;
• seat of the rod joint at the shift lever “passed through” to facilitate removal of the stump should it break;
• brass bushings to decrease friction and wear to a minimum
• the color of the tips adds that personalized touch that makes them “yours”
  …
• both simply beautiful!

And here we are with something new!
We received some comments about the Buy Groups (GdAs) for some parts:

“too long waiting”
“too high shipping cost” (for many of those interested overseas)
“I see them available online but they are much more expensive”

and so on.
So we decided to make these models available for everyone!

Here you can download them for free (after logging in and accepting the license to use them)
=> 3D templates downloads <=
and have them made by a workshop or as DIY.

The only thing we ask of you, besides the two points above, is not to remove our logo from the parts.
Our ego demands it…
(therefore are they under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license)

However, we remain available to organize GdAs for those who have no possibility of having them produced or do not want to pay too high prices.

Thanks to Google we can enrich our Blog experience of simultaneous translation of our content.

The translations are not perfect, but neither is it our English!

However, we hope this will increase your understanding for our work and facilitate your participation.

We have included the two most common languages of our community as fixed elements next to the well-known Navigation Menu and a banner in the lower left corner that additionally allows you to return to the original English version.
