totally stealing your hub design; maybe ill throw in some more holes to make it look semi-original
im in love with those tripple trees...
if only i had a cnc i would be one happy guy.
EDIT:
Forgot to ask; are the holes for the forks raked at all or are they square with the rest of the triple tree (in other words, is the hole drilled at an angle at all)
Rocan said:sounds good to me.
I'm going to drop some money on a nice little mill one of these days and attempt to make a triple tree. ill post a thread on how it goes when that day comes.
in the mean time... id kill for that sweet ass compression bolt you made for those triple trees!
how did you work out the spacing for bearings? did you just machine everything to stock heights etc?
Im guessing you turned the steerer-tube on a lathe and then pressed it into the bottom tree?
