Talbot Frameworks 'Matt McDonough tham peb los ntawm nws thawj - thiab nyiam - cov khoom siv sib xyaw tsim, Dalsnibba
Txhua xyoo hauv Norway muaj kev sib tw los ntawm Geirangerfjord nce toj roob hu ua Dalsnibba, 'hais tias Talbot Frameworks 'tus tsim, tus tswv thiab tus tsim qauv Matt McDonough. 'Kuv mus xyuas thaj chaw ntau heev vim peb muaj ib co tsev neeg phooj ywg nyob ntawd, thiab kuv tau caij saum roob ntau zaus.
Nws zoo nkauj heev, thiab nws yog lub tsheb kauj vab no muaj npe tom qab.'
Nws yog txoj kev ntev ntawm McDonough lub rooj cob qhia nyob rau sab qab teb London mus rau sab hnub tuaj fjords ntawm Norway, tab sis tus ntsuj plig ntawm lub roob tau tshwm sim nyob rau hauv Dalsnibba, lub teeb yuag, siab tawv nce toj tshuab.
'Nov yog thawj cov khoom sib xyaw tsheb kauj vab uas kuv tau ua - tus qauv, yog tias koj nyiam,' nws hais. 'Kuv pib tsim cov thav duab nrag, tom qab ntawd fillet brazed, thiab tam sim no feem ntau ntawm peb txoj haujlwm yog TIG. Qhov no yog fillet brazed, tab sis, raws li koj tau txais qhov smoother tiav ntawm lub bilaminate lugs. Cov pa roj carbon yog los ntawm Enve, lub ntsiab daim duab peb sab yog filament-qhov txhab thiab cov seatstays tuaj tawm ntawm pwm.'
Bi the bi
Lub sij hawm 'bilaminate' Ameslikas xa mus rau cov kws tsim qauv ntxiv ib qho ntxiv, feem ntau cov qauv los yog cov ntawv cim logo rau ntawm lub log tsis tu ncua raws li kev zoo nkauj kov, yog li ntxiv lwm txheej, los yog laminating lub lug. Niaj hnub no lub sij hawm yog siv ntau dua thaum ob lub raj luv luv yog fillet brazed ua ke los tsim ib lub tes tsho rau hauv cov hlab uas nyias nyias yog brazed los yog bonded. Nyob rau hauv rooj plaub ntawm Dalsnibba cov hlab no tuaj ntawm Utah-based Enve. Sab saum toj, hauv qab thiab lub rooj zaum raj yog filament-qhov txhab, txheej txheem uas carbon threads raug mob nyob ib ncig ntawm lub cylindrical mandrel ua ntej impregnated nrog epoxy resin thiab kho.
txheej txheem no feem ntau nyiam nyob rau hauv lugged carbon designs raws li filament-hloov hlab yuav ua tau kom nruj tolerances dua lawv qhwv los yog molded counterparts. Uas tau hais tias, cov rooj zaum yog molded vim lawv cov pob txha zoo sib xws, thiab cov chainstays, zoo li cov lugs, yog cov hlau tsis meej.
'Tshwj tsis yog tias koj hnyav ib sab ntawm tsis muaj dab tsi ces peb nyiam tsim Dalsnibbas nrog steel chainstays, ' ntxiv McDonough, hais txog qhov tseeb tias tsis zoo li ntau tus tsim nws ua rau Dalsnibba ua ib qho ntawm peb 'tus qauv' qauv hauv Talbot ntau yam - txawm tias txhua tus tseem yog kev cai ua. 'Steel ua rau muaj qhov sib txawv loj rau qhov tawv nqaij hauv qab hauv qab, yog li cov chainstays yog Columbus Life.'
Lwm qhov ntawm lub taub hau raj thiab hauv qab bracket yog los ntawm Paragon Machine Works, lub khw muag khoom hauv California uas nrov nrog cov neeg ua haujlwm ywj pheej, thiab cov lugs yog ua los ntawm T45, aerospace-qib steel alloy. Txhawm rau kom qhov hnyav qis, cov hlab uas suav nrog cov lugs tau tig rau ntawm lub tshuab dhos, sab hauv thiab tawm, kom tshem tawm cov khoom siv ntau dhau, ua ntej ua tiav tes nrog ob peb semi-ornate flourishes. Yog li ntawd, tag nrho cov thav duab hnyav 1, 250g, sib tw heev rau tus ncej uas zoo nkauj npaum li ib nrab hlau.
Txawm hais tias Talbot Frameworks 'thav duab pib ntawm £ 1,650 suav nrog cov xim, Dalsnibba los ntawm £ 3,000, yog li nws tsis xav tsis thoob McDonough tau txiav txim siab spec nws tawm nrog qee qhov txawv.
'Lub diav rawg yog Enve 2.0 txoj kev diav rawg thiab cov khoom siv tiav yog cov khoom carbon Fizik, 'hais tias McDonough. 'Cov pab pawg yog Dura-Ace Di2, txawm hais tias kuv tau pauv
tawm ob peb yam, thiab cov log yog tubular.'
Cov diav rawg thiab cov khoom tiav tau xim sib tw los ntawm Dalsnibba tus neeg pleev kob, tus kws kos duab hauv Bristol hu ua Dokter Bob (txawm tias McDonough ua feem ntau ntawm Talbot cov xim). Nws zoo kawg nkaus nyob rau hauv lub hnub ci, qhov tob, shimmering metallic xiav thiab mithril nyiaj, tab sis saib dhau qhov zoo nkauj thiab nws yog qee qhov tsis txaus ntseeg uas kos lub qhov muag.
Tus nres callipers tsis yog qhov xav tau Dura-Ace 9000 tab sis Asmeskas ua Eecycleworks Eebrakes, uas tuaj hauv qis dua 200g ib txheej nrog cov ntaub qhwv. Lub chainset yog Cannondale's SiSL2, thiab cov log yog conspicuously unbranded tseg rau ib co etching ntawm lub hubs.
'Tus nres yog nyiaj dag, nyob ib puag ncig £ 700, tab sis lawv hnyav dua 200g. Kuv tau siv ntau lub teeb yuag brakes tab sis cov no ua tau tiag tiag! Lub
SiSL2 chainset yog sib dua dua Dura-Ace [483g piv rau 632g] tab sis tseem khov heev, thiab cov log yog Lub Teeb Tsheb kauj vab rims laced rau Extralite hubs.'
Extralite hubs yuav luag txhawj xeeb lub teeb ntawm qhov thov 48g pem hauv ntej, 134g rear (los ntawm qhov sib piv Dura-Ace 9000 hubs yog 120g thiab 248g raws), thiab 24mm tob tubular rims los ntawm Asian chaw tsim tshuaj paus Lub teeb tsheb kauj vab los ntawm kev thov 320g. Nrog hais lub log tsawg dua ib kilo, txhais tau tias tag nrho cov tsim yog pes tsawg?
'Nws yog 6.2kg thiab raug nqi kwv yees li £ 8,000 tag nrho tsim,' hais tias McDonough teeb meem-ntawm-qhov tseeb. 'Nws yog tag nrho cov kev cai geometry tab sis qhov no zoo nkauj npaum li 54cm-zoo sab saum toj raj. Qhov no yog "hnub ci-ib-ntau pua" khoom - Kuv muaj lwm lub tsheb kauj vab rau ib hnub - tab sis kuv nyiam qhov no. Nws ua tau zoo, lub teeb tiag tiag. Nws yog lub tsheb kauj vab txias.'
