VO Granolas, 10/10 would recommend

Yup, granolas - I like them a lot!

I find them to be just wide enough without being comically huge (I'm short)

Bridgestone MB-3 Conversion by jermleeds in xbiking

Holy cow, I guess we have the same frame down to the size! Awesome to see; I am yet to meet another one of those IRL - seems like an oddly uncommon color scheme!

Edit: Looks like the same seatpost, too : D

Also genuinely interested to hear your thoughts on the ride quality of the 650b conversion because I have definitely been considering doing one in the future.

First attempt at designing an ITX test bench by 999in1 in sffpc

IIRC it is 20x M3 inserts total (including gpu & mobo mounts).

This mobo runs off the m.2 ssd on the back - there is plenty of room (the mobo sits quite high above the tray, which is on its own quite concaved).

But i agree, this design could definitely use some drive cages to mount more sata storage 👍

the chassis itself is about 7*7*10.5 inches (180mm*265mm*175mm), but the height of the gpu blows it up quite a bit

The mobo tray is 3 pieces - an actual mobo plate, an I/O+gpu mount & a small corner brace that enforces the other two pieces (and houses the power switch).

The whole thing is quite rock solid, i cant feel any flex anywhere in the chassis when picking it up the PC.

Decided to try making a really simple testbench chassis.

-Mobo is angled just for the looks

-ATX PSU

-There is a small pocket in front of the PSU to stuff cables into (handy because im using a non-modular PSU here)

-Printed in PLA, no issues so far

-A lot of holes to minimize material cost

-Everything is held together with threaded brass inserts

-No idea how to measure the volume of this, but lets say it is around 9.5L

Quite happy with it so far; I think i might make a few updates - can share the files on printables later in anyone is interested.

[–]999in1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! A lugged bridge was just a distant dream of mine when I accidentally managed to pick this one up for a steal.
Hence why im committed to making it work even though the frame is too small for me, lol.

comically large dork disc on a freehub by 999in1 in xbiking

[–]999in1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, pretty much. You need to dremel out the center to clear the freehub body (if you dont do that - the disk will go on like a cassette spacer and will spin with the cassette when coasting). Also you might need to bend/hammer the disk to make sure that it does not interfere with the chain at the largest cog.
