Evil Undead

[blackohio]

who does the carbon frames for evil? I do not think that a small company like Evil can build the same quality carbon bikes like the big guns.

I Hope that Evil can gain a little bit of reputation back with the new bike.

Guess Tucker couldn't do it either.

Looking pretty damn nice. Linkage is looking fresh

[Inclag]

god damnt, why didnt the Revolt have linkage like that?

and what exactly is a "double shear" about it?

In my eyes it's just a buzzword since lots of bikes utilize "double shear" pivot layouts.

The new frame looks nice. I'm sure it'll be fine compared to the aluminum bikes.

theyre exactly like Tucker....they built some great ones, some bad ones and never in time for delivery b/c of assembly issues

and what exactly is a "double shear" about it?

There are two shear planes on the pivot bolts in this arrangement vs the single shear plane on the Revolt pivots.

sweet, so theyll fail in two places now instead of one?

The PB article says Hodaka...

I assume its these guys. http://www.hodaka.com.tw/cp_profile.html

So does that mean my V10C isn't good quality? It's made in China.

so sick of the 'it's carbon it's going to break' talk...

[rpet]

So SKC do we need to wait a couple more weeks for the possibility of frames or months.

exactly "two more weeks"

Na, China and Taiwan is the way to go!

[wood booger]

China and Taiwan are very different!

[roel_koel]

China and Taiwan are very different!

Taiwan for quality aluminium alloy frame production

China for quality carbon fibre / composite frame production

Vietnam, Malaysia and Cambodia for lower quality aluminium alloy frame production (i.e. cheapos), or kids bikes, etc.


it really depends on the production facility itself and how much $$ you are prepared to pay for production units and quality control, than the country of origin itself

but the above is generally, correct

Carbon is usually done in China because of the lower labor costs compared to Taiwan. Carbon stuff is very labor intensive compared to alloy.

Taiwan is usually a little more advanced technology and quality wise (and more expensive). Speaking very generally however.

...peronally I prefer Taiwanese carbon for the Chiayi Sauce, but Chinese carbon prepared with jiaozi and Duck Sauce is not without it charms...

Shockingly, I don't think anyone was saying that. For once. I only read this page, though.
