Hello Mikael,Sorry, English time.
Fairing getting some putty and a few glasfibre mats. Previous owner rolled over in it, when he had to dodge a kid that suddenly walked in front of him on the bike path.
I'll have to sand all the fairing bits down and paint. Not too keen on the yellow, plus it's faded unevenly. Thinking white mostly with contrast in red or such.
Frame needs some serious love too. Started on it yesterday. I want to strip all the paint and then it gets a rust treatment and Hammerrite.
Model with adjustable bottom bracket, but will fit me where it was. Getting 155 mm crank arms to avoid heels hitting the ground. Was also born with a middrive, but previous owner removed that. Getting a DualDrive rear wheel.
(...ich übersetze das so (ohne Gewähr): ...)I would prupose to take away the Nylon cover on the frame generously. I did it on my Leitra this way and I found rust underneath the cover for fairly long distances.
Ich würde vorschlagen, die Nylonbeschichtung auf dem Rahmen großzügig zu entfernen. Ich hab das bei meiner Leitra gemacht und auf diese Weise habe ich Rost auf weiten Strecken unter der Beschichtung entdeckt.
Danke für die präzise Antwort. Verstehe ich das richtig, die Blattfedern aus Kohlenstoffasern, aus denen die Hinterradschwinge ja besteht, die lagern direkt auf dem Lack, ohne ein Lager dazwischen?An den Federauflagen für die Hinterradfedern wird die Beschichtung schnell komprimiert und dann sicher auch undicht. Dann zieht es dort Flüsigkeit rein. Das ist eigentlich nicht so gut.
Some pics of the finished frame, plus the painted fairing bits. Main fairing still needs some sanding, but I'm lacking the time due to my studies.
Rear bit is mounted with four bolts on the frame. Dunno why that would be a problem.
If you wanted you could stick washers of your preferred material betwixt frame and rear assembly.
it is clear that the movement itself is minimal at this position. But it is still a moving part, and lacquer is no good mounting for moving parts. As Marco stated, it's probably rather pressure than movement which is destructive here. The pressure at the edge where the movable section of the carbon spring begins must be enormous.Rear assembly is mounted under the rear part of the frame with four big bolts. There is not much movement possible there IMHO. If it did move I would have seen rub marks on the spring and there were none.
I'd be interested in seeing pictures of the mounting. You do have some from before restauration? Anyway it's always nice to watch some pictures.I can take some photos later today.
