Quick update rear wheel built and refitted now 4 speed and with a good chain line h/duty single speed chain with tensioner with 203mm disc cable to hydraulic brakes on order
Started on the tilt, top and bottom arms top is 2 inches shorter in an attempt to move the camber for turning circle [will be trial and many errors ]

 

[peter.c]

A quick update the top arm has to much tilt so need to make another one with only 1 inch difference
