    Cool [WIP]evil style tube clamps

    FS: evils clamps

    Ok guys, were about ready. Heres the break down, Im doing my best to get these out to you guys and im doing this all in the little free time that i have.
    Right now i have all the screws and clamps ready, im dealing with shipping soon. the issue is ill need to get another set of screws as the ones i have are wrong.. which costs me more. but once that is all square away ill start shipping everything out. ill be doing this over my holiday break.. so i hope you guys appreciate this.

    THIS IS A REAL PIC!


    anyways

    so im my search for creativity i thought, "hey we need better tube clamps!"
    so just whipped this up real quick, and i think im liking the idea a whole bunch!
    ideas, comments, crits, etc let me hear them

    THIS IS A REAL PIC!

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

    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.

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

    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).

    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.

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


    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.

    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
