Get a job ya bum.

How did it go compared to before you rebuilt half of it??
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

That is the long term plan buddy

Once we sorted out the head shake, it was great. It stays at a consistent ride height now, so right hand turns are truck loads better.

What was causing the head shake?

Not enough trail now that the back stays jacked up. We wouldn't have found it if it weren't for Scrivy...of all fucken people.
Saving the goat....
You're welcome...
I musta been an engineer in my past life..............😈
Great to see u 2 out there going fast.
Damn phone....
Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

What would he know about short bike set up?
Lucky guess I'd say.

He usually doesn't opine, when it is set up issues. I've always thought all you cunts just show up, kick the tyres, and go racing.
Saving the goat....
You're 100% right.
We sit on our asses talking shit, and do kick the tyres before a race. Hell, sometimes we clean our visors......
But all the set up has been done at home...... unbeknownst to all and sundry......
It's the shortbike version of smoke and mirrors..........

I might start to listen to ya'll when ya tell me not to do stuff. Except Gordie, what would he know? He just makes kitchens.You're 100% right.

I'm really happy with the stability of the chair now. We can ride this thing in confidence now and have fun doing skids and stuff. I'm told it leaves mint stripes out of Barrel at Hampton.
Only things pissing me off now. The gear shifter doesn't fucken work half the time, and I want a torque arm holding the front brake caliper. There's no point trying to set geometry at the front to make gains, for it to all be for fuck all when ya touch the brakes and it goes straight to full extension and essentially have no suspension/bump compliance.
As a quick after thought. We're currently running a 3/4 Tilton master cylinder for the front brake, and 15/16 for the rear and chair. Since we don't have a great deal of room for a longer brake lever to get a softer peddle and some more braking power, I'd like to try the 3/4 we have for the rears, and 11/16ish for the front if someone has one we could borrow to trial before we shell out for a new one. To be clear, we run the full size car style masters.
Saving the goat....
My last 2 meetings, I had no end of gearbox issues..... AS YOU ALL KNOW!!!!
As for the front end, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (get it?) go and visit Clive Watson - from the Aussie F2 chair camp this weekend at Manfeild. What he doesn't know about chair design and build, you could write on a postage stamp. He has built trillions of the fuckers! He will give you some VERY GOOD knowledge of front end set up.
You will not get better advice Drew. Take it from a man that is in the top 1% of frame builders in the world......

i'm motarded

No stress bro. I'll go see what he says for sure.
To be clear, I don't have to cut anything up or change the front end to fit a torque arm. The allowance is there to mount one now. We just had it mounted to the emergency caliper before, and the mounting plate wasn't tough enough for the amount of force the main caliper creates, and it twisted. We just roll the caliper mounting plate around the axle, and chuck a bar from the main one to the fork leg.

Was impressed with the speed of the chair Drew, the old 1200 motors have life in them yet eh.
