If you want to salvage the frame and out of options, provided youve got access all the way through the BB cups, you could carefully saw through the cup til close to thread then collapse in on itself with gentle hits. Chase and face everything afterwards

As of now the plan is to fit a pole into folding stand and fix a clamping arm to it. Apart from pole being wrong OD reckon it can be done : )

After more bikes, enough was enough, got a park tool folding stand that had a good sturdy base, was happy with this till through axles, longer wheel base and all manner of other bike changes happened, now its time to try and sort things again.

In the early days it was a fence post, gate, table, chair whatever was at hand, then after a while something better was needed, I had a go at making some kinda wall clamp thing using bar ends, spirit level and assorted thread bar, aluminium, anything at hand. If anything it gave me plenty of...

Have had a number of frames acid dipped for paint removal, then inspect them for cracks, damage etc then returned to get powder coated, the company that does this is a car wheel refurbish company, they repair, polish or paint car wheels, so lend well for doing bike frames amongst other stuff...

My little shithole works provided you dont bend over and or spread out ; )

Re: Any info on the fork/steerer connection with raised bearing race? is it a mod or was the fork like that originally ?

Re: underside of the fork crown, though I don't know how much room you have, handle bar end plugs, Hope ones have an expanding rubber plug whereby as you tighten the bolt it squashes out the rubber plug. Have done this in the past on larger ID tube, Ive used Rubawrap tape on the rubber plug of...

Re: Sticky back plastics can work fine with flat & slow curved surfaces, but deep grooved shapes that are on CNC'd cranks, then It gets a bit hitand miss. A 2k lacquer may help in addition to any colour coating. Generaly easier to go with a raw alluminium on wear areas, but some prefer to...

Re: Not the one your after, mines a Pentax A3 SLR 35mm. As said, they go for next to nothing on Ebay

Re: Ive a pentax 35mm of some kind, around early 90's big ole thing with switchable lenses. Will save this thread and try dig it out tomorrow

Re: Cerakote, Gun coat, there maybe other firearms coatings similar. I've had a couple rifles & a blade done in Cerakote, hardy stuff. Oven enamel paint maybe

Looked into fatbike axles and yes they do a 9mmx135 QR, however they don't have sufficient thread for the bearing race as they use sealed bearings. For a fat bike axle to work I would have to thread the hardened steel axle with M9x1.0 die by hand, bugger that. Plan B then.

Its not a hope hub. Yes it would be easier to use a solid 9mm thread bar, even loose the disc brake altogether, though this would be a step backwards in terms of practical use. This trailer is intended for hiking loads, it needs to fold up for travel on the train, bus, plane etc then when you...

Re: Front wheel axle length longer than 110mm The lateral alignment for the caliper is out by around 9mm, a longer front axle would sort this. The wheel is a Front 20'' disc.

Re: Cheers will look into the fat bikes axle. see if I can attach a pic?

Hi, Am trying to find if it exists a front 9mm QR wheel axle at a length of 120mm + anyone know of such a thing. Its for a project build of a hiking trailer, and I'm needing an extra 10 to 20 mm extra length in the axle for brake caliper alignment. Am considering other ways to achieve this...
