Not as good as Fred or Uncle Jez, but given time, I think this one could do ok.

At least they weren't [i]just [/i]tedious and rude.

How about a combination of yours and your business partners initials?

You can try but MH and JW don't do anything for me.

Use your stw username, plus something generic that encompasses biking.

Hudders' Field Components

Sounds like I would be a fan of football, I'm not a fan of football, I'm an angry hairdryer fan.

Just for the record, I've CNCed components that have ended up on racing cars, including Formula 1, military aircraft, submarines and some of my components are currently in orbit around the Earth, and I'm definitely in the "misinformer is a shit-talking moron" camp.

Have a nice day. 🙂

Yup snob is a machinist. pretty much the guy who does what people like me tell them has he ever considered the part has come out of forged stock
...only thing in orbit is your sense of self worth, machinists don't design anything that goes in a plane sub or spacecraft you douchebag...enjoy tomorrow's shift work

Crikey. You're now into the realms of dick, rather than just 'clueless buffoon'.

Actually I started as just an operator, then a setter, then a programmer, then did in-house design before taking over as quality manager. All the components I mentioned were made from billet and not forged. I'll post a picture of one of my components, if you like. Are you willing to do the same?
BTW, after taking a five year holiday, I now work in a different industry and have the week off, so no shift work for sbob, you silly little boy. 😀

I'm sorry, your post makes no sense because you are interminably stupid.
Would you care to have another go (keep in mind it's a school night and you should be in bed soon)?

Don't fancy taking me up on my picture challenge? 😆

Its early days so it's hard to say, XC is our roots but some parts can cross over, I'm all for clean design with low weight, so it could be parts for a Single Speed and parts for a Trail Bike/Enduro beast.

Yawn bike components again made of shitty billet which crack and fail

Oh hold on they forge their hub bodies though and they still fail
Yup ex aerospace boys who no longer work in aerospace...and quality goes to shit.

Yep just back from the garage and nothing has cracked, failed or snapped, nothing back to the warranty department. Must just be me.

There is an NZ outfit getting going, (mates of some guys I ride with) who started as a CNC shop by persuading one of their guys not to take a better paid job elsewhere by providing him with overnight use of the CNC machines. They are releasing a line of stuff this year, if you can do straight to market stuff then you might have a shot, the 40/42t stuff is a good example. Get into something before SRAM/Shimano do make your money and move on.

These days niche manufacturing is great if you have low overheads.

Is misinformer actually going to back-up anything he has said with a shred of evidence after being caught out or is he just trolling?

Surely anyone who is able to type "I just don't conform to the clique" and keep a straight face must be mentally unbalanced.

I did 2 postdocs researching aerospace alloys (SSC in 7050 and superplasticity in 7475), and I think Misinformer is brilliant. Best trolling on here in a while.

Not nearly clever enough to keep it up. Lowest common denominator trolling, gets too defensive too fast. No variety, just straight in with second rate put downs.

We've all seen better, it's just more amateur white noise.

[b]Metal Smiths[/b]- nice B&W logo of a guy beating the shit out of a part over a cnc machine rather than an anvil.

[b]CNC Alchemy[/b]- nice logo of some guy with a huge wizards sleeve casting a spell over a freshly milled part.

I expect a freebie if used.
