Hey guys, its Brad the guy with all of the crazy questions about the Fox Vanilla RC. Thanks for all of your help.

I've been searching the archives and can't find any links to how to order or more info on the Hammerhead disc adapter. Thanks for the help.

Brad

You can follow the "Links" to "855 heads" then click on "Products".

Or you can just go directly to this link:

I think I'm going to put that into the FAQ.

I've just fitted a Hammerhead to my 5500c with Hope Mini's, and it's fine. One downside - it's made out of solid stainless steel, and come in at a hefty 64g. I'm searching for a 4mm x 100mm x 50mm bit of Ti to copy it and make some weight saving.

Overall - recommended.

Using Ti will save you 30g according to my computer models and simulations... I have some Ti plates here, but am getting them cut up as HammerHead key rings/beer bottle openers... Be careful of the alpha case when you cut the Ti plate... could cause stress fractures. Also.. no citrus cleaners, no contact with lead pencils, marker pens or gold rings etc.

If you send me the plate I can get it cut for you using the programs... I'll do it as an act of goodwill... cos I really am a nice guy!!

Ciao..

I did put it in the FAQ, just now. I'm such a lazy bastard when it comes to changing content on the website.

Now if I can only write up how to get replacement elastomers and put THAT in the FAQ, there will actually be all the FREQUENTLY askes questiions in it!

kiwi · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2003, 07:04:16 pm »

well dave in the file archives there are part number sand every thing.If you want i can do it....tell me how
I will do a liitle write up on the elastomer bikes and maybe the x57 and 98 models as well.

GrimJack · « **Reply #8 on:** January 30, 2003, 07:42:40 pm »

Actually, if you're voluteering...

Pretty simple, actually, just write up the text that would go into the FAQ, both the question and the answer.

It's way less effort to copy and paste.

kiwi · « **Reply #9 on:** January 31, 2003, 09:40:33 am »

so do you want me to write up teh afq and just post it as a reply here????If i includes link n that will all that be pastable?

?

GrimJack · « **Reply #10 on:** January 31, 2003, 11:17:19 am »

That will work great! Links are pasteable, but complicated. Not a big deal, though.

callumw · « **Reply #11 on:** February 01, 2003, 11:46:12 pm »

the 64 gramme question!

yes - I think you can feel 64g on the dropout - this is because it is unsprung mass and effects the suspension a little with regard to small bump sensitivity.

BUT!!! the real reason you can feel it is that you also have 350g of HOPE mini there as well.

I didn't know we could do Ti HammerHeads. bonus. Mike will have me out scavenging round the Iraqi desert looking for spare Ti next.

Ho ho ho ho ...... Hey Rich..

Just collected your HammerHead Ti (CAHHTi) today...

Anyone want to guess the weight....

I'll have it in the post tomorrow.

Ciao..

Hammer.

ps...

Callum... I think all you'll find there is depleted uranium shells... and a few Big Mac wrappers!!

Ti HammerHeads are not an issue really... apart from the costs to buy the material and make them... took a lot longer than the regular material, they charged me the earth. So I won't be making a habit of this...... so unlikely we will be making any more of these, this was a goodwill gesture to Richard.. if anyone else wants one.... we can do it.... but if you need to ask the price, you probably can't afford it.

Exclusive.............

So far... Only two in existance... got two out of rich's plate, sending one to him and the other is going in the test rig.

is there anyone else out there interested in a ti hammerhead?
maybe if we could get a few of us together, getting the plate and cutting some could be a viable option?
cause i know i'd 'really' like one myself.
i do have the ss version already...

Why Ti or stainless Steel, how about 7005 or 7075 Alu, is it going to be too weak? (it works fine on other frames.

Y0u probably could add couple mm to it's thiknes.

I think Titanium would be problematic, you have to use that special antisieze compound(or what ever it called) .
