Korken Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Hi all! Now is my Downhill wheel done! Maybe another color for the spokes and rim. Crits plz! //Korken Quote
Zaryin Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I would also lighten the tire a little. Where's the rest of the modeled parts? Quote
Eric2575 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Love it! The knobbies are great and I also like the small detail around the axle nut. Are the spoke a little thick, or is that just my imagination? Can't wait to see more. Good job. Quote
Korken Posted August 30, 2005 Author Posted August 30, 2005 I would also lighten the tire a little. Where's the rest of the modeled parts? Alittle everywhere. I'm about to make the frame (w/ handelbars, cables, cranks) and the Fork (w/ hub, axels). I got a Bone system for the rear suspension and I'm done with the rear shock. Ohh, I forgot that the sprockets aren't done yet either. Love it! The knobbies are great and I also like the small detail around the axle nut. Are the spoke a little thick, or is that just my imagination? Can't wait to see more. Good job. If you compare usual spokes with DH spokes you'll find that they are 2x as thick. That is why they are rather thick. I've been a week in Greece (?) on the island Crete and I've become abit rusty so I'm off to make the fork and post in when it is done. And if someone is making a bike with rear suspension and need a bone system for it, tell me. I got the linkage for Specialized, Iron Horse and Kona! And thanks for the comments. //Korken Quote
Korken Posted August 30, 2005 Author Posted August 30, 2005 And as you requested I gave it abit more rubbery look. //Korken Quote
Korken Posted August 31, 2005 Author Posted August 31, 2005 Now is the fork done. Not much left now! And it is time for some paint. Crits plz! //Korken Quote
agep Posted August 31, 2005 Posted August 31, 2005 You got a nice eye for details. Very good at mechanical modeling. Also, like the materials you have used. Well done so far. no crit... sorry ..... Quote
Korken Posted September 1, 2005 Author Posted September 1, 2005 Ok, then I'll let the modeling be. I'm now waiting for the decals from Manitou to use on the fork nad then it is time for the frame. //Korken Quote
nf1nk Posted September 1, 2005 Posted September 1, 2005 I know its a bit late for this thought, but on my bike (next to my computer so its handy to look at, on the axel hub the spokes alternate in and out, on yours all of the spokes face the same way which is why you have varying length angle sections at the hub. Of course my bike is not a downhill racer, it is a simple commuter bike. The details are increadable and your work looks top notch. Another thing I noticed as I rode this morning was how the tires go flat on the bottom, even with plenty of air pressure, but that is probibly more detail than you would want to mess with ;-) Quote
Korken Posted September 1, 2005 Author Posted September 1, 2005 About the spokes, there are 2 types of spoke mounts the usual type (yours) and a quick fit spoke. The difference is that the one that are longer on one side are abit thicker (I have the same thickness) at the mount. And I thought "Who knows?" so I used the same length all the way. I think it look almost like the real deal. And I got a DH bike beside me. //Korken Quote
Korken Posted September 1, 2005 Author Posted September 1, 2005 Now, I've fixed the colors but the decals are on the way. Every company ask: Is it going to be used for comersial use? Crits about the colors plz! //Korken Quote
