Trike Drifting

[Zullock Holmes]

bringing home some tube for phil from work tomr. gonna get it done on saturday.

[tjramplebump]

you making one too matt? ill bring my frame to the m&g so ppl can see in person...i think others should aswell

[Zullock Holmes]

Idk i got plenty of tube laying around, i might as well.

Phil.... what is the ID of those wheels you bought?? I can get grade 8 stuff to use as spindles.

[tjramplebump]

dude could you grab me something for spindles aswell if possible? im dumbfounded and fumbling ideas on a prime way to make them...i want it to be legit..and hell yea you should make one...the more the marrier!

oh and i forgot to add...i give alot of credit to people whom weld cages...its alot harder to weld small diameter tubing than it is square anything...jesus im glad i ground my welds down hhahaha

[Buffalo Phil]

My progress is simply parts acquisition.



Bike.



Rear wheels.



8" PVC pipe with some Lawn Mower wheels with bearings.



PRESS FIT, NIKKA.

Construction on the beast will start this weekend.

Good progress, Ben!! Good to see a frame!

ZULLO, I NEED GRADE 8 BOLTS. I'll call you tomorrow and get the exact dimensions.

[Riot]

Plenty of tube, you say?

I will be looking for some if there is any to spare..
Please don't make me use rtv and duct tape guys, I'm already not running brakes, so the risk of my death is already fairly high.

[tjramplebump]

thanks mang...that bike is noice aswell, i really like the style of those bars...my goal is to kind of have a raked out front a little chopperish, im thinking about making custom bars and kind of stretching the stance on it a little...good to see people are taking it seriously....


HOWS THAT WILLIAM!? SiS algori...WHAT!?

[Zullock Holmes]

i have a couple 26" scrap sections that i can use to make rear axles. I'm hoping they're long enough.

[Buffalo Phil]

Yeah, this bike was a score and a fucking half. Front brake is a plus and so are the pegs in the rear. Beastmode.

[tjramplebump]

my rear axle is 41" wide and seems a LITTLE too wide so i may chop some off depending on what it looks like with wheels...26" might be a little too short though...

[tjramplebump]

we should have a pre meet and greet wrench/trike building fest...like we do pre OER

[Buffalo Phil]

I'm shooting for a 36" rear axle.

[Riot]

The "average" drift trike rear end measures about between 27" and 35"...

[tjramplebump]

that + the added width of the wheels should be ideal id say..cant know till we try it though i guess

[Buffalo Phil]

I have a fat ass. 36" axle for me.
