    Are you going to explain how that was done? Any pictures of the
    process? Did you add any kind of an additional stiffener inside the
    seat?

  5. Its just a regular KH seat with 2 holes drilled in it. Put the bolts
    thorough the holes and the seat goes where the rails would be.
    one of the holes goes throught the plate. I cant say how stiff it is
    because the plate is broken any ways.

  11. Tell me, what would happen if you scratched up than handle, then used
    it? you would get carbon fibers in your hand that would itch like crazy
    and get you infected.

    Yeah thats what I was thinking as well. Carbon fiber doesn't seem so
    ideal for a bumper and a handle. Because of the scrathes.

    plastic layer.

    The CF handles and bumpers I make are not the same type of fabrication
    as "normal" epoxy CF parts you normally see. They are CF reinforced
    castings using a plastic resin that is much tougher than epoxy, so they
    are not brittle and do not splinter when they get beat up. If one of
    them ever does become unsafe to use, I will replace it. People have
    been banging them around for almost two years now, and only Ben
    Plotkin-Swing managed to crack one, apparently from a well placed rock
    hit to the thin web area, which seldom gets hit. Ben is very talented.
    🙂

    The seat base is a more conventional carbon and Kevlar/epoxy laminate
    which is cured under high pressure.

    After I posted I realized you would be chiming in wanting credit.😉
    I should have specified I was talking about the DeathGrip models, not
    the early Miyata style test parts.

    Sorry about the slow response guys. I have been working around the
    clock on, of all things, an Olympic luge.

    As for the bases, a worldwide carbon fiber shortage is causing delays in
    material deliveries, and the price has climbed considerably. At the
    moment I am keeping my prices where they have been, but I am not sure
    for how much longer.
    The seat bases are $125 with the stainless steel threaded inserts
    installed, and with the fulcrum adapters for both Thomson and Primo
    posts. The "SIF Grips" are $20 additional.
    The DeathGrip handles are $65 and the matching bumpers are $30.
    'Base and handle photos' (http://www.wallisdesign.com/HANDLEpics.html)
    The bottom photos show the current style base, with SIF Grips
    If anyone wants to get on the waiting list, email me at:
    scott(at)wallisdesign.com

    Jagur,
    Sorry you won't be at CMW. I was hoping we could go to some wine
    tastings together.🙂 I would like to do Moab next year but will just
    have to see how it works out.
