Nice work! I like the spacers, and bolt head protectors. So is thats a 10mm female hub? Looks much smarter than my washers, but i don't get access to lathes now im not at college.

Give me some sizes and I can quickly spin you up something when I can?

Well now im not using my sub i don't need spacers anymore, but thanks very much for the offer man, I'm not sure if theres anything else i could do with either, thanks though.

Mike, how come you need those volcano washers? It's 10mm dropouts right so wouldn't the profile bolts just work fine? Or was it because they would just press into the frame and not get enough hold?

charge-rider (Jul 9, 2012 at 5:25)

They were just profiles way of polishing a turd as having bare exposed cap head bolts would look fugly

ahh I see!

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:08)

Yeeerp.

yhought so i was like ayyy hows that work then i thought oh he must have dished it good job bro

raytheotter (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:26)

just out of interest... why a 110mm profile hub instead of the 135mm?

not hating, just curious

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:28)

Because I already had it! Would have moved to an NS Rotary Pro, but couldn't afford it.

raytheotter (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:30)

that makes perfect sense now haha

i was beginning to think it was just so you could machine more bits :p

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:32)

Not gonna lie, if I ever did upgrade to the Rotary, it would take in instant trip on a lathe to remove the disk mounts.
I find flaws even when there are none

raytheotter (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:38)

i have to say, you sound like a true engineer :p

nouser (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:21)

why the big washers on the bolt cups?

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:22)

My take on Simples "Wheel slammers".
Bit bulky, but they were done in 20 minutes, so I can't complain!

nouser (Jul 26, 2011 at 16:34)

you have frisbee's for wheel slammers haha

charge-rider (Jul 27, 2011 at 4:15)

Jealous.

meatbucket9 (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:08)

135mm rear spacing!?

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:09)

Eh?
Frame is MTB spaced and I'm rocking a BMX hub.
Made a spacer and got a longer bolt and all is well!

meatbucket9 (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:09)

Yeah thats what I ment, Nice, no chances of slips or breaks than usual?

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:11)

I haven't a clue about how strong my parts are, but I trust them entirely! Can't see any way that it could break, either

meatbucket9 (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:12)

mmm, so whats going on with the wheel? Pushed over or what?

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:14)

Dished. I.e, the wheel is trued over to one side so it's central in the frame instead of central over the hub as it normally is. Disk brake wheels are normally dished to accomodate for the disk on one side, but not as much as this!

meatbucket9 (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:16)

lol, bet it looks funny

charge-rider (Jul 26, 2011 at 15:17)

You don't really notice it!
