We have reached the stage where rims are coming off the presses in some volume and the pipeline to the drilling machine is filling up. In the next two weeks we will be getting additional hubs, spokes and decals so wheelbuilding will start in earnest.
Our training is progressing well and the quality of the rims is clearly improving day by day as the press operators pick up the quirks, acquire new skills and learn to make great rims. In the weeks ahead, as we approach US launch day, we will be tightening our QC parameters, setting higher standards all along the process chain and concentrating on delivering only the very best wheels.
Results are coming in from the early riders, some indicating we may have tweeking to do to improve wheel balance and tighten brake track variations. We have plans underway to address these issues all along the process, from improved preforming design to new equipment with far higher control on brake track machining.
Stay with us for the ride of a lifetime.
