Ben@LeicesterTrials Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Get a mech, were the main big alen key bolt is what screws into the mech hanger take the bolt out, were the bolt slots in to on the mech to screw in the mech hanger grind it down about half way and file it so it's nice and straight then put the King fun bolt though it and clamp it up onto your frame.

paolo Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Now i have looked on the searchand all i found was a spoon tensioner and something else that loked wierd and was put on a hanger and i have no mech hanger.I made that hahaha and it doesn't use the mech hagner, I just bolt it with the wheel, then to make sure it doesn't move, I squezed a piece of plastic (from a plastic dinosaur) between the chain stay and the spoon.

mat hudson Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 its more the impact than the weightttttttt though, like you arnt heavy enough to break a frame by standing on it, but impact forces etc etc WOOP.it will be way stronger mounted that way though.

Bionic Balls Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 half a mech...it's sprung too...so no tight spots..hard to land on cos it's inside the stays...lovely.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Some ideas that can be adpted. The roller can be bought from CRC, 6mm Alu sheet arm (or thicker). CAD print out stuck onto the sheet to allow cutting out to shape with a hand saw.Maybe make a sort of mech hanger from sheet alu to provide the additional mounting hole for holding the arm securely.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
