Oh man, the deck with gaps comment brought back memories of doing the OneUp 1x conversion to a Shimano 2x10 derailleur about 15 years ago, and having a few spring loaded parts explode then fall through gaps in my deck. That led to trying to hunt down a new assembly of whatever parts exploded, which was non-trivial to find.

Lemme just grease this headset… (Tiny elastomer things pour out like rain onto my deck with gaps) 🫠

Or use a knockblock style headset? The headtube is stronger than the downtube and top tube and can also reroute the loads to the two tubes over a larger surface area than bumpers can... Or a steering damper, it should prevent fast movements and thus high speed impacts. Contoured bumpers will also have a different stiffness characteristic over the height of the frame so might be semi effective. Thick, somewhat soft bumpers should be the best, but will impact the steering angle.

After some armchair engineering, I think ideally it would be moulded and adhered to the frame itself and sized so that it makes as much contact with the fork as possible, at which point you could relax on the thickness and hardness a bit. It could be a lot of work on more complex frame shapes, but you could also get contact with more than 100 mm of the stanchion on some frames.

Those ODI bumpers will dent/crack most frames in a crash

Good, idea, we udpated the tool, together with some more new features. https://bikeyoke.com/#3d-cockpit FC/RC is now being calculated, too, and some useability optimization (for example you now must slide and can not change the value by clicking in the slider-bar. Input range was increased for some values. Thank you all for the feedback! Keep it coming!

I’m kind of shocked people are still running ODI bumpers. They’ve had a reputation for denting frames since I worked in a shop back in like 2014. Turns out that putting a nut and a screw between your frame and your fork is still a bad idea.

I’m more concerned about what your buddy is about to step on in that photo. It looks like what happens when my Newfoundland finds some spicy food left out. In other news- your buddy needs some better bumpers that dissipate the energy. The Ooohlins are lovely.

Can't speak to serial numbers, but the material in that area of the frame is insanely thin compared to the top tube and head tube itself when felt by hand. Couldn't fit the caliper in there.

Has anyone heard of head tube issues on the most recent generation of TR11s? A buddy of mine just dented his second frame in 2 months behind the headtube from the fork bumpers.
