DO IT YOURSELF bottom armor DIY 2021

[Tepi]

Works great 9mm, plastic sheet bending with a hot air fan heating into shape. 10 mm on the side of the drive wheel, more protection from dirt on the side. Can withstand shocks because it is a non-crack material. Now 2023 Husgvarna hc3,4,5 pictures have the same implementation bottom armor. I was ahead in the development.

Looks good.

You probably want to countersink the bolts, or at least use round headed fixings so you don't catch on things.

 

[Tepi]

Näyttää hyvältä.

Haluat luultavasti upottaa pultit tai ainakin käyttää pyöreäpäisiä kiinnikkeitä, jotta et tartu asioihin.

Se on muutettu, niinkuin sanoit.

@Tepi what's the weight of your home made skid plate? Great job by the way

Wondering if a thinner aluminum plate (2mm) wouldn't have provided similar protection, while being lighter and also keeping your original ground clearance.

 

[Tepi]

@Tepi mikä on kotitekoisen liukulevysi paino? Hieno homma muuten

Mietin, eikö ohuempi alumiinilevy (2mm) olisi tarjonnut vastaavaa suojaa, vaikka olisi kevyempi ja säilyttänyt myös alkuperäisen maavarasi.

Saatta painaa 0,2 kg ei punnittu.Muovi on halpaa muovia mikä ei halkea vaikka vedät kiveen.Ei myöskään pidä melua.Alumiini taipuu iskusta muuttaen muotoa ,voi resonoida? Maavara ei ongelma 160mm,kammet sekä 20mm-lisää Fox36 160mm,myös 20mm lisä takana. PS, muovin taivutus onnistuu kuumaa-taivutus kylmä vesi jäähdytys. Vetää itseään takaisin joten vaatii toistoja.ITSE TEKEE NIIN SAA MITÄ HALUAA. IKÄÄ 77V, maastossa on kivaa.

I have been thinking about using some UHMW plastic for a bash guard. It’s what is used for skate board slide rails. It can be bent with a heat gun, it will deform rather than crack and it’s slippery. The big problem with aluminum is it’s will “stick “ to rocks.

@Tepi I'm having some difficulties to read your last post. Could you translate it into English please? Thanks!

 

[Hattori-Hanzo]

Google translate says.

It might weigh 0.2 kg, not weighed. The plastic is cheap plastic that doesn't crack even if you pull on a stone. It doesn't make noise either. The aluminum bends on impact, changing its shape, can it resonate? Ground clearance is not a problem 160mm, cranks and 20mm extra Fox36 160mm, also 20mm extra at the back. PS, plastic bending is possible hot-bending cold water cooling. Pulls himself back so requires repetitions. DO IT YOURSELF GET WHAT YOU WANT. AGE 77, it's nice in the terrain.

@Tepi Minulla on vaikeuksia lukea viimeistä viestiäsi. Voisitko kääntää sen englanniksi, kiitos? Kiitos!

Suomessa Google kääntää kielen sopivaksi. Miksi ei teillä ?

Maybe ? Would it get it correct though ?

"bottom" sounds like armoured shorts specifically designed only to protect your buttocks.

Would it know to translate bottom to "motor guard" "Skid plate" ? Or would it get confused and make things worse - DIY Buttocks ?

Bonjour!

You are right and sorry to go OT. How to be sure what is meant by finish line: Drugs? Lube products? Or the famous Ass Savers?

As a native German speaker I had lots of happenings when speaking or - even worse - writing the British English that I learned. Especially when dealing (no drugs ) with Americans. It starts with simple words and ends with more complicated grammar when trying to be friendly by using the word „please“ and ending up to be understood to be unfriendly as putting it wrong in a sentence.

However, back to the bottom line, or better Finnish line : communicating in whatever English would be nice

Nevertheless I like that Hungarian Hogy-Hogy (Why) that I learned yesterday.

Guten Tag !

This can only get more complicated. If you have an American on drugs with a sick Donkey (Which is often called an Ass, presumably from the latin/celtic/middle eastern "asinus") they might visit the pharmacy for treatment. Over the years, they stopped saying arse and just say ass instead, so now the person might stand in the car park rubbing 20 litres of lube all over their donkey having bought a whole box of Ass Saver. Knowing the etymology might have saved them, but probably wouldn't.

I wondered what the Hogy-Hogy was. I like it. We should all use it in threads for the next week.

It's a bit like the Welsh "Oggy Oggy Oggy" ....

Yep that would be helpful. My first impression was that this thread is about UnderArmour padded shorts

I digress.

Hey, Tepi did a nice job for this skid plate! My 2022 Cube SHy gathers lots of gravel in the motor cover and i frequently take it off for cleaning. Is there a hole in the Tepi-Bottom-Saver?

BTW. Grown up in Aspirin City I am pretty sure that ASS is for headache and maybe blood thining but can not imagine how it may be taken to be effective for donkey aka buttolism. Not dissolved, I assyoume?

Doch, es gibt ein paar Fotos von abgenommenen Abdeckungen, in denen massig Dreck gesammelt war. Leider finde ich das gerade nicht und mache meine auch regelmässig sauber. Das Loch unten sorgt zumindest dafür, das Wasser ablaufen kann.

Übrigens gab es zu dem Thema schon hier ein paar schicke Ideen:

Bosch Gen4 motor cover

Smashed the plastic cover yesterday thanks to a lump of slate chucked up from the front wheel. Looked at Rockguardz but the 2020 cover is a just a little cosmetic thing that looks like a boy racer thing from Halfords. Any decent alloy bash guards out there??

[Plummet]

Why is the front chainring so small? what am i missing?

 

[Tepi]

Oma gen 2 moottori huollettu .Mud stop + sisemmän akselin stefa ajettu yli 10000 km. Tällä toimenpiteellä ajetaan yli 20000 km.Moottori on hiljainen , laakerit kuin uudet.

 

[Arminius]

Oma? Hatte ich auch! Tepi, viel Spass. Ich hab keinen Bock das immer durch einen Übersetzer zu jagen und bin raus.
