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?

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.

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.

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.
