Ash-Kennard Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 the disc tab on the atomz forks i just bought and fitted ive just noticed is wonky at the top. it looks intentional as the disc tap itself is bent and fitted around to fork slightly and welded well, but why would you curve the top of the disc mount?can anyone tell me if this is normal, tried asking prawn on msn but he never replies haha.

basher Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Get a pic as dont quite get what you mean. Will make it easier to tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Dunno what you're on about but looking at the forks on Tarty maybe it's curved on purpose to compensate for some design feature?slightly related, how is the threaded steerer/topcap working? Is it threaded far enough down so that if you chop some off it'd still work?Oh and what's the price of half a dozen large free range eggs?

Ash-Kennard Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 (edited) as you can see the top is clearly bent, but i dont know if its intentional or not...the threads go pretty far down, ive cut the steerer if thats what your worried about. just file slightly to remove the buure so the topcap threads in nicely, i added some grase too, tis nice.oh and, sainsbury's woodland large free range eggs x6 is £1.45/unitEDIT: i take shit photos, sorry Edited January 5, 2008 by Ash-Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Gives it a larger weld area maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I thought that aswell. It proberly helps as the disc tab is welded on to a curve so it fits the contours better and helps with strenght and makes it easier to weld may be.

Tom_ Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 I wouldnt worry about it, as long as the brake lines up ok and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 All I can think of is to bring the top of the mount (where most force is) into alignment with the maximum line of force produced by the brake (on the face of the mounting tabs).
