faldfhkhfidhfid:
Hey George, Will there be a batch of 48 hole Simian rears once they come out? Even if it is a small batch i'll be happy. 36 just isnt the same. Still rocking the monkey in the front to a ribcage, Got the porn hub to a old hulahoop in the rear.
dude...:

no there wont. they had to flog off the 48h ratchets as complete wheels for $100 (bargain of the century) because they couldnt shift them at full price

Are you guys able to publish any of your testing results for the keychain? I'd love to see the tensile strength of both the hollow and solid pin versions compared to a KMC510h

I think the plan is to do some kind of stampy testing, both for straight tensile and impact. The problem is (as always) that the industry standard tests aren't a great reflection of real world riding. eg. nobody ever puts a new chain on, then pedals hard enough to apply over a ton of straight tensile load to the chain. But it is hard to come up with a good repeatable test so maybe we will revert to this.

Partly this, and partly there just isn't room on the flange for 24 holes per side.
The Simian rear is the same flange dimensions as the Antigram and you really need a lot more for a 48.

I'm looking at it mostly for trials, so tensile strength would be a pretty good real world test. From what I have seen a lot fo people in trials community are interested by it, but are on the fence. Its hard to get away from what you know works, especially when your teeth are on the line.

I'd be kicking and screaming about it if I was them considering the BMX market is dominated by the DK Golf bag!

Did you ever manage to grab one? I'm wondering if it can be rolled up fairly compact and thrown in a backpack?
