Now _that_ would be the dream for the front wheel of my MTB.

So why aren't you using it? I thought you were an engineer.


For the umpteenth time:

1. I don't have a lathe and other tools.

I thought you were an engineer.


Yeah, electronics. Electronics guys don't have mills and lathes. Unless
they are not married ...

In the same way I could question your degree because you likely do not
have a spectrum analyzer and a network analyzer.


2. It requires adapting the fork mounts to a motorcycle caliper and
the handle has to come from a Yamaha.

I thought you were an engineer.


See above.


3. I just don't have that much time right now.

You spend too much time whining on Usenet.


It's just minutes.


4. I just converted the MTB to 8" rotors for both wheels. Any engineer
woth his salt will recognize when good enough is good enough.

Then why did you say " Now _that_ would be the dream for the front wheel
of my MTB" ?


Because it is.


I agree that any engineer worth his salt will recognize when good enough
is good enough.

Failing to do that is your entire schtick.


Wrong. Try buying this kind of rear end for a sull-suspension bike at
your LBS:

This is certainly a "good enough" solution. Homebrew. Most offroad
motorcycles have that standard. Bicycles? Phhht ...
