codename;hopethisworks.
righto,all bits are now together as they need to be and are now resembling
useable forks.i have drilled through metal to install steel pins to act
as 'pegs' plus a blob of epoxy resin b4 nipping it all up.all in they're at
755g.without paint.
i have pulled ,pushed, twisted etc and they seem rather sturdy.afterall
its 2mm thick so,i suppose its the real-time forces exerted on em that will decide integrity and fatigue implications(which any off- the -shelf thing can suffer).
pace research will probably gain £35 quid from me for the v/canti mounts as i cant find a cheaper alternative.
just though id keep you all in the loop.paint finish will be a simple or even mono coloured outlook.
have a butchers' at the pics at the roughley fitted forks,have i got away with this? im not sure what geometric circumstances are at work but they look ok and have good tyre clearence.
test date is set at the great yorkshire bike ride 2010 weatherby to filey as this is road and less stressing on the forks.off road will be......well... lets not get too excited marc!
