Kris, how thick is the thinnest part of the dimple? I really like the style of these dimples.

The thinnest part of the dimple is .5" (the tube starts at .75" O.D.)

I assume you are still using this setup with different size dies and backing plates, if so what size dimple die you did use for the above dimple?

That is correct. The dimple die is quite larger for this one and I believe it's 5" diameter (2.5" radius). Here's a picture of that dimple die (which I have begun to prefer for all builds-the overall transitions are much smoother from dimple to tube):

Thanks for the info! I really appreciate your help!

Kristofer, why is the powder coat removed from the seat stays on your fattie? Btw, I really want one of your fat bikes .. Just back logged in custom bikes (beyond reasonable).

PS looks awesome ... Love fat bikes in the snow :)

I moved the seat stay bridge up by about .125" recently to get just a tad more clearance for 29+ wheels (it was close on this bike, but moving it up made it a bit not so close). Thus the partially removed powder. I'll have this re-powdered shortly...

Ah, I see. Nothing wrong with versatility ... Gorgeous bike nonetheless! ;)
