    I though you grabbed my spare out of the toolbox down south...
    erm, not me sorry, haven't broken one (ooh I've said it now), but yeah the CNC version sound good.

    Actually night before I was thinking an adjustable return travel limiter at the tip would be a nice addition (if people are careful not to close off the return port) as mine does seem to have a bit of travel before anything happens (despite braided & two port bleed with good seals) & if I adjust it further out I'll have trouble reaching it.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    sh!t; so it will crab, weave and be totally slow....

    you should consider multiple mounting points for the linkage arm (between the bars and the fork head).

    at least that will offer up some adjustment if it turns too quick.

    Also I've got a stack of steering dampers...

    I don't have any experience with linkage steering, but I do with the wobble from too steep geometry. Our full size chair is extremely interesting to ride on warm up laps. The front is twitchy and wobbles like fuck till the tyre gets up to temp.

    Toe the chair wheel in a coulple degrees though, and it sorts it out.

    Alrite we better get our shit (sidecars) together (going).
    I think there were enough bucket guys harrassing the feilding high school display that they are hopefully going to bring one or two of their sidecars up to Taumaranui. Will contact them with some more details and let you all know how it progresses either way

    Top effort to all that did the harnessing...
    It would be interesting to try and get closer ties with the high school challenge...
