surfrodz have created the keyz system which works much like a spherical. Mine should arrive b4 the weekend so i can show you how it works.much easier than trying to explain.

For some reason I no longer receive emails when a new post is added in here?

Yes Sutho is on 4 sure!

I've submitted an event thingo. Not used to this FaceKook style format.

Keep your eyes out for it, to get details etc If it gets approval from the powers that wanna be :p

Its this Sunday 11am @ Waratah Reserve Sutherland.

Ben Mod,

Polymer sphericals will have a limited life. Steel are the goods. You can get away with an 8mm metric spherical in the baseplate. Extremely close to 5/16" which are used in Radikal and GOG.

Easier to grind or even file the randal pivot end down to 8mm.

Marek: I can "Pimp Your Ride" no prob ;) Lets talk this Sunday.

Bozak: Airflow shouldn't be a problem. Just need to check cup dia. of Tracker plate and the thread inside the hanger pivot.

A ball end in a spherical bushing doesn't make sense to me as the ball will just kind of flop around, maybe i haven't followed the description right. Ball end in a cup would be fine. I was working on the theory that the ball doesn't support any weight - the bushing does that.  The shaft can move freely through the bearing so the pivot just guides the hanger.

Love to get down to Southo on Sunday but can't make it this week.  Any chance of something more central?  Someone had a place in rose bay or thereabouts- can we try for that again?  otherwise we could host one on the sunny side of the harbour. Craig?

so you dont need a ball end pivot.

.or they're cheapskates.

 

And the cap screw screws into the hanger itself and uses a jam nut to secure it

Boz,

airflows use a tracker rt x baseplate with aa normal tracker pivot cup.

The pivot itself is a 8mm, 1.25tpi cap screw that has the OD of the head

turned down to 11mm with straight and parallel sides to fit the pivot cup.

I guess Mr Airflow figures with a near 0deg kingpin setup,

when the hanger leans the pivot only rotates in the cup,

it doesnt lean over in the cup like a steering hanger pivot does,(hard to explain).

...penciling in tech talk time with Fitz this Sunday!

i have always wondered what difference it would make in an airflow rear in the pivot, they use a weird pivot though it isn't a ball shape
