Hallo Leute,
ist eine Moby Deuce Stütze noch aus der Zeit, bevor Ringle von Sun geschnupft wurde? Ist das der Nachfolger der Mobypost? Bitte klärt mich auf...
Vielen Dank!
die einzige frage die ich dir gesichert beantworten kann ist die dass die deuce die nachfolgerin der moby post ist. 1992 kam die moby auf den markt 1998 die moby deuce - lt. firstflightbikes
dann hab ich kürzlich bei retrobike noch ne geschichte gelesen warum die deuce wohl lanciert wurde - wobei ich keine ahnung habe ob das stimmt.

Yes bit of a funny one this, and understandably not publicised. The Easton taperwall mandrel at Easton Metal is the same mandrel that gets set up to do basball bats and all that kind of stuff. What I mean by that is teh configuration of the kit is torn down and rebuilt for different batches of draw. .. One day out of the blue, the moby setup was configured,a load of tubes drawn (same grade starter tube), and then on the shelf, the posts were cracking. No load, just siting there, they were cracking. It never affected Mby posts in service, just for some reason, the configured setup was inducing so much stress, the tubes were craking, and just for some reason, no mater what was jiggled, the problem just couldn't be sorted.
In the end, the design was shifted marginally to kill the problem, slightly thicker walls, slughtly different taperwall, an dthe problem went away. This was then what was called the deuce, the 'second' post. It was slighly heavier, and it was more exensive, and this is why fairly soon after all colour variants were introduced with a silver head. It cut cost a little, and ensured anodising consistency. Its very hard to match the shades as it is, but it just eliminated that trouble.
The moby and moby deuce are genuine Ringlé components. The moby evolution, is post-takeover generic far eastern pap with a nice looking clamp on top. . .
hope this helps
