@xaytana5 жыл бұрын
Bearing surface in that bore of the shock, as already pointed out as being chowdered, is the next point of failure. Other than that, you'd more than likely need unrealistic forces to damage either the shock or frame. Aluminum pin was fine, except where the diameter shrunk for the threads, which also sacrificed the threads in the frame when the pin was damaged; which is also why threading into composites is not a good idea and not a good design choice. Unless you have a whale riding this bike through a trail with substantial drops, it should be fine for the rest of it's usable life. Though, if the shock is frequently being bottomed out, it more than likely needs replaced, or adjusted assuming this one can be, but judging by how the bearing surface is already wearing, it probably needs replaced. The pin itself should've gone through the frame completely and secured by either a nut or retaining clips. Aluminum would have still worked without issue in this case. This bike just has very poor design choices.

Especially when working on German gear, expect the depth of thread to be 1.5xDiameter. If the process is designed for mass production, that's what it'll be 99% of the time as it's the minimum thread depth to get full strength. I like to go a bit deeper for one offs but what's another quarter turn?
@xaytana5 жыл бұрын
Except thread engagement length for optimum joint strength depends on material. Steel is typically 1x to 1.5x diameter, and softer materials need a longer length for optimum strength Problem here is that the aluminum-composite joint was only to keep the pin in place, so strength really wasn't a factor; you could achieve the same pin using a through-frame design with retaining clips, thread engagement does not matter in this use. On the manufacturing side of things, sure, 1.5x diameter might be fairly typical. But again, this joint wasn't designed in that way, so it doesn't necessarily follow optimal thread engagement. And if it does follow optimal thread engagement, that number for carbon composites is more than likely more than 1.5x. Threading into composites in a high-force application is a bad idea anyways, as proven by this product's failure. And this isn't a German-only manufacturing decision, any product with proper engineering would follow optimal numbers for thread engagement, Chinese products more than likely also target optimal thread engagement; anything not doing this is either bad engineering, laziness, or planned obsolescence.

@xaytana5 жыл бұрын
@Mitchell Pearce Easy solution would be a weather/water resistant material that the retaining clips can crush against. Still a better solution than what was originally used. Or you could go with the other suggestion I had of putting threads on the through-pin and using an external nut to keep it in place. Either way, threading into composites is a bad idea, and the diameter reduction in the aluminum pin is what caused the initial failures here. @hphoto Reinforced concrete is much different than what's mentioned here. Any length beyond the optimal number is just excess and a waste of material, hence why it's referred to as optimal. Not to mention the entire geometric difference here, reinforced concrete typically uses lattices of material tied in place, while threads are only a helix. You can't just compare the two.

The saying goes: You have choices with bicycle components. They can be inexpensive, light, and strong - but you can only pick two attributes.

@@Benedocta FWIW, Radon specifically makes very affordable bikes for what they are. Not "cheap", but a lot cheaper than, say, a bike with the same specs from most other well known brands (for people from the US, think Trek, Specialized etc). So all the Tschörman Enginerding must be done in the design phase because the bike is straight from Taiwan like any other brand.

Could you have possibly just AvE engineered out the built in weak point? Seem like that pin was a sacrificial part to the carbon fiber frame
@noanoxan5 жыл бұрын
Interesting how that "sacrificial part" as you put it nearly scrapped the frame from ovaling out the hole. Note how AvE said he was biting into the carbon from when he was tapping out the hole. Carbon doesn't thread well. It's a temp fix that may end up keeping the pos on the trails longer than the guy riding it keeps his interest in the hobby.

er, sort of. If done this way, you have to unwind the screw at the end of every pass. it's a work-around. you can't go back and pick up. The only true way to cut metric threads is with a metric lead screw and matching split nut...

Yeah, it's a work around. But it does work. It would be nice to have a brake to stop the spindle but you Can disengage the half nut, stop, reverse then drop in on the same number as you pass it on the reverse.

A Beach Mark is the smooth rings like lapping waves in sand ,on the smooth side of the break , where the crack originated . The grainy area of the break is the catastrophic failure , when it broke under tension . It starts out as a nucleation crack , then progressively moves across the part , with cyclic loading, until it fractures .
