So...I always wanted to make my own DH frame and I finally made it! It's my 1st frame and it's TIG welded 4130n steel.
-"High pivot",
- horst link,
- idler,
- 10,5"x3,5" shock,
- 8" of travell
- 1,5", low HT
- 7075 T651 links
- 24mm pivots
- PM 74 brake mount
- 150x12 Maxle type rear end
I want to run only 5/6 smallest gears and a small chainring. Had gr8 deal on RF Atlas FR 100mm bb cranks and wasn't sure about 83mm cranks Qfactor (i have no tube bender so I was affraid of crank arm/chainstay interference...). Anyway i can always make it 83mm if needed.
Geo:
47.25 (1200mm) WB
17.125 (435mm) CS
64* HA
13.5" (343mm) BB
1" (25mm) reward axle path
Front end weights ~5.5 lb IIRC, have to put the whole frame on scale this weekend but i'm thinking ~11lb for the frame only. Sry for crapy pics, MOAR, better ones after the weekend probably...
What do You guys think?
