I think he will use 7075 T6 or 7068. Those are great materials that they also use in space travel. This time it will not be a nonsense thing, but increase driving comfort. I want one !! And all those other parts too.

Only question is how much it flexes. I'll make up some sort of jig to test deflection under load. Changing the way the axle is captured in the fork legs.

Reply #10 - 10/04/19 at 08:16:33 Considering that the gravitational forces on the West coast and East coast are close, transcontinental variance of the weight shouldn't be a factor.

Reply #11 - 10/04/19 at 08:38:47 I can tell you that stuffing your bike n the side of a car at 45 MPH will put a kink in that axle. Not real bad, but rolling it on a flat will reveal it.
