Thanks a lot for all the input. I guess I should finish drawing up the bike frame in Solidworks and do a simulated fatigue test.
But in reality before I cut my lugs and check to see penetration which I feel pretty confident about except for the areas where I might have left less than .001 clearance for the brass brazing rod to flow, I would like to know if anyone has done a stress test. I am sure I can figure it out but would I be better off building something that would create a fatigue test that simulates an actual ride over time or a fatigue test that acts like a rider thats to big for a road bike frame and using it like a bmx bike? Make sense? If not, Imagine putting a cat on a paper airplane and throwing it. Does it fly? How does the plane hold up under the cat (that's now tearing the plane to pieces. And your next!).
Oh! I have only brazed together the front triangle of the frame so "riding it and checking for cracks as needed" is out of the questions unless I'm dragging it behind my truck which would be "dragging it and checking for cracks as needed". Not happening.
Peterpan1!!! Oie! This is good information. Would you happen to have any info or links to the standards and requirements? I am interested in seeing some since this is the first time I have heard of any outside of Keirin.
Six Jours!!! Sup. I'm going to do a search for testing devices as soon as I'm done writing this. Thanks! So far the only one I have seen was the one Serotta uses on their carbon frames.\
Nessism!!! Yo. I that the 3rd Hokage avatar? Thanks for the tips. I will definetly watch the flow of brazing material.
My next step is to cut, sand and etch the pieces ands see if there are any holidays. I'll try to post pics. Thanks again for all of the input.
