cheers

I'd buy em.. Looks great.. only problem is with the D-tek Fusion.

Looking good, looks like you found the solution to incorporate a tight grip and bling! :up:
Would that be for sale any time soon?

thanks :up:

what about the fusion? just clamp then one by one the same you would do with worm drive clamps

Wow, nice! Hex bolt clamps... sexy!

well ive got a few places in mind right now, hopefully i can get the res and clamps out soon. they are slow and still havent made my samples yet soo well have to wait and see :up:

Oh, yes! If my shop in Switzerland was finished, I'd want to import these immediately!
Very nice!

I really like those! The only problem is that you would need a different one for each style of OD. Currently I use worm drive clamps, but those would look real nice!

Great idea!

Would they be aluminum?

I'd totally use those. :)

Whow its like the expensive Mountain Bike seatpost clamps.

Those are metal right, not colored plastic?

that is true, but this is more of a specialty item to begin with

thanks!

Lovely! I wish I could have some over here in Singapore now! lol.

just thought of something, wouldn't the size be different for every different kind of barb? all barbs for lets say 1/2" don't have the same OD.

the ID of the clamp is 3/4" to clamp 3/4" tubes, theres a ridge plus there 1/8" of movement to tighten with, im sure its more then enough to seal the tube to the fitting

Looks like my bicycle clamp (well actually mine is made in carbon fiber :P)

In all honesty, those are gorgeous. I would say just slightly thinner would look better, but overall the colors are purdy

Cool, just making sure. Problem I saw with clamps like that from when i use to work on bikes is they have to be just a hair bigger then the fully tightened size cause if you have to tighten too much it losses a circular shape and 2 sides get more pressure then the other 2. And there was a crap ton of different sizes (no standard).

those are sexy goodness. I definitely want some.

it would be nice to have them made of CF because CF is awesome but i think that would cost a purdy penny lol

slightly thinner maybe a good idea, as it would be more flexible

yea that makes sense but since were just sealing a tube we dont need to get complicated. :up:

Hmmm... Those are some really nice-looking clamps! :up:

beautiful clamps, just use some stainless steel screws to be on the safe side :up:


i'd buy them as long as clamp = normal fitting is cheaper than compression barbs ;)

Nice, I get one with chrome on it =p. How easy would it be to torque them? I use worm clamps you know how it can easily rotate when you start to torque them. Just a though.

Quick release clamps would be kinda interesting...

should be very easy to torque as there is very little pressure between the clamp and the fitting. the tubing is the only pressure between the two
