I truly appreciate it. I should therefore drop the idea. Regards to all in the Moots kingdom. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=65#post-408 Fri, 05 Nov 2010 05:59:42 +0000 teamfubar 408@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Wouldn't a person be better off having ISCG tabs added to their bottom bracket and run a Hammerschmidt crankset? Better availability, the ability to switch back to a standard crankset if you desire and not making your frame dedicated to one style would be better I think. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=65#post-405 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 16:38:47 +0000 JonC 405@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Indio---</p> <p>We are familiar with the Schlumpf design and requirements to modify the bb shell. Interesting for sure. </p> <p>Doing this to your frame yourself would do a couple of things:</p> <p>--void the warranty<br /> --make your frame compatible with the Schlumpf design only....for the rest of it’s' life. </p> <p>Back in the day Mavic made a square taper bb that could be used in bb shells that had the threads blown out and this saved some frames from the grave yard. </p> <p>We would only do this on a new frame order and it would incur a cost of $300 to $500 of set up time and tooling requirements on our end. So far we have not sold a single frame built around this system.</p> <p>A big leap of faith if you ask me. A lifetime frame built around a very obscure system.</p> <p>Let me know if you have any other questions.</p> <p>Jon@Moots </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=65#post-397 Thu, 04 Nov 2010 00:52:21 +0000 kamkam 397@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Personally I would hesitate at modifying away from how the frame was finished at the factory. But then I have only heard of schlumpf and not seen or tried first hand. </p> <p>I would contact JonC directly at Moots and see what his thoughts are, They may be able to do the chamfering for you so getting a much more professional finish. </p> <p>I am very surprised that you haven/t had a response from anybody at Moots. It does not reflect my experience in the slightest. I would try again and give them a chance. The powers that be (those at Moots) do look after their own (us Moots owners)</p> <p>Goodluck<br /> Kamkam </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=65#post-364 Thu, 28 Oct 2010 07:05:16 +0000 indio 364@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>hi, does anyone in the Moots kingdom has Schlumpf Innovation Speed Drive crank set, particularly on a Rigormootis? My inquiry - the crank set ( Schlumpf Innovation) requires that the bottom bracket be 45degrees chamfered cut which means the bottom bracket shell will be modified/altered using a special tool wc dealers of Schlumpf will rent out. would appreciate your sharing the experience w this or any opinion on this? Im also concerned about the warrantee of Moots since i just recently got the frame. thanks.</p> <p>ps, i tried emailing several times the Moots Ind. however until know I have not receive any respond. Its a pity, since this is already my second moots bike but never got any favorable after market service from them. </p>
