I am guess it's a stem thing, but hard to say for sure without some further tests which are too time consuming to type out now! If you wanna give us a call Dave I can explain.
That'd be good
One of the ones we built is this one:
Lines up perfectly as you can see. Is it possible the gear ratio isn't 18:15? Slightly silly question but that's the only thing I can imagine causing an issue...
I think my definition of a shed is different to yours! I'd class all of my cars as a bit sheddy...
Speaking of sheds, have booked Blyton Park track day for this Saturday if anyone's free and wants to pop along.
Think we've managed to get some... should be in stock soon.
For info, the O ring does the sealing, so you could screw this part in by hand and the brake would still seal. Manual says 0.5Nm.
Stans had one of the front disc hubs for about 3 years now, still spins smoother than my Echo one did after a few rides.
Same with the rear hub, they've been in testing for even longer.
If that's what you want, grind a bit off the back of the end of the lever blade, so the start position is further from the bars.
It's a fact that you can exert more force with a more bent finger, though. Around 90 degrees bend is optimal.
I think the triangulation of a set of tubes allows would be stiffer but only down to a certain frame size. Once the standover is so small you're better off with one big section.
