if you would like to follow my progress i will be posting in the TEXAS
board over the next 2 months start to finish.
i am building my dh bike with a adjustable head angle.
here is how i though would be the best to do it with a
arced tovetail system. it pivots from right
above the front axle so as you go through the angles it keeps
the front wheel as close to parallel to the ground so you get
less bb height change. see gif.
question is what kind of strength do i need my alum
head tube to have? its the male part. the female will
be molded carbon fiber. then two 8mm bolts to keep
it ats its angle. i should use 7076 i guess.
but what wall as compaired to the carbon do you think?
what about the amount of sholder area?
thanks alex
