Title: Pivotal and Tripod specs?
Post by: MilkyWilky on March 30, 2017, 03:42:04 PM
Just curious if the documentation for these standards is out there for people to use, or if it's the whole licensing deal, or is it me & calipers?

Good question. I know the Socket drive specs are available for free so people can build sprockets to fit, but I couldn't find a spec sheet for Tripod. I'd check with OTX distro--they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Is G still on here?

Try the contact here - http://www.tripodseatsystem.com/

I doubt anyone will give you anything for free unless you're going to make an order but it can't hurt to try.

Pivotal is, or at least used to, be patent protected. So I doubt they would just give it out for people to use without contacting them first for licensing.
Dont know about Tripod. Are people using tripod systems? I have only seen them in ads, never seen anyone riding it.

Ive got a tripod set up, theyre not too bad just a little limited with the seat angles and thats about it. They're lighter and slam lower in the seat tube.

I use Tripod on 2 of my 4 bikes. I like that there is no hole on top of the seat and the base of the seat is cleaner.

I am also confused about that.
