Nice

 

Thanks again for your help and patience!

 

Glad to help...looking forward to the assembled wheel/tire

 

Just read all 53 pages of this thread (Sunday morning hangover!)

Fantastic work. I'm not bad with a spanner and do all my own wrenching but I'd love to have a little more fab skills and that CAD stuff looks like a great help.

Can't wait to see the 'finished' bike..

 

Hate those sunday morning hangovers! Hopefully my plodding build pace and ridiculous nit-picking didn't make your head pound any worse.

 

Picked up the 2" barstock for the front axle spacers. $22 for a little over 13". It was a drop they just laying around and it's WAAY more than I need, but I'll use it up eventually. Hopefully I can make some chips tonight.

 

I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but what kind of setup do you have to machine all these parts? I'm guessing it's more involved than the angle grinder, die grinder, and hand files I have in my tool box.

 

Shifting the last Dims around, I see..

 

At one time I had access to a full machine shop at work, but it's gone now. Last year's parts were mostly made at work in my free time. Mill, lathe, assorted drill presses, surfacers, brake, presses, punches, welders, measuring and layout equipment, etc. It was the maintenance and tool build shop. We manufacture machined parts so that stuff just supported our production CNC, screw machines, rotary transfer machines, etc.

At home, I've just got a 12" Atlas thread-cutting lathe, 12" bandsaw, 5/8 floor-standing drill press, MIG welder, media blasting cabinet, and a well stocked tool collection. Eventually, I'd like to get more fabrication equipment, but I need more space.

 

I KNEW you'd notice that! Yes, the rotors were just a hair off. The rotor-to-rotor dimension was right, so I just needed to shift the hub a bit. It will put the tire .030 off center unless I offset it, but that's not too bad. I didn't want to shim one rotor (and machine the opposite flange) or buy another hub.
