    thanks! my current bike uses a pinion and it is the shiznit. i dont plan on going back to a derailleur bike again. shifting is a little weird at first but you quickly get use to it. you get in the habit of shifting when your feet are at 12 and 6, when least torque is on the system and you kinda...

    gearbox! derailleurs are so 20th century this will stay raw. larger chainrings have the force distributed more because of more teeth enagaged at once so they tend to last quite awhile still. rest will be laser cut then finised off in the mill. still not done in cad yet but playing around with...

    current big project id my 4runner. bought it 2 years ago as a beater with a heater when my VW blew up. now i really love the truck, 305k miles and its running and shifting solid but frame is swiss cheese and the suspension is beyond gone.

    for what its worth i just took the box end. cranked down on a nut then took my torque wrench to see how much torque i would need to get the nut to move. not a perfect test by any means but atleast gives an idea. the wrench felt solid at about 70ftlbs once again i wasnt trying to make the...

    Thanks for the fea analysis. I was gonna try to whip one up yesterday but didn't have time. Mine is definitely thinner but it's been plenty strong for me. I think the chamfer makes it appear even thinner in pics then it is in person. Some sockets in progress Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
