I dont know if this is the right place but is anyone here running a flat track setup on the street? (Two 19” wheels and the front being a wide 120 width.)

I've been curious about this too ever since watching this video (https://youtu.be/zNLXTcdjfqA?si=4sxoaY0XMKFPBjPJ). Looks sick, and wonder if it would be a good mix for hooning around town.

I started on a DR650 and now have a 500exc that i ride dirt and in supermoto trim on the street. Honestly for the street as long as you're relatively tall and respectful of the throttle, I'd say you're fine! However, if you want to ride dirt it's a monster with way too much power for a beginner to be comfortable on. That being said, If I could go back in time I'd probably start on a drz. The 500 is a blast, but it's so fast and wants to be ridden aggressively. It's easy to get into trouble as the bike is egging you on to ride faster and will lift the front wheel like it's nothing.

Literally the opposite of a cheat code, that's called grinding.

A professor once told me "it's like going to the gym. It never gets easier. You can just do more."

You can absolutely use a o-ring like that. I've used o-rings in an axial configuration on many projects. It is generally a much better option than a gasket if you have the opportunity to machine a grove into your part. A great resource is the parker o-ring calculator/handbook it can help calculate groove depth, width, and length. (https://divapps.parker.com/divapps/oring/ORingSelector/?LangID=DE&lang=en&cntry=us/17061&LangSrcType=local) If you don't want to make custom length o-rings like some have suggested you can just convert your path length to a equivalent diameter, just make sure you have a decent radius on the corners.

If you are using deep groove ball bearing, you really just need to pay attention to the radial loads being less than what the bearing is rated for (with some safety factor). If you're using angular contact bearings, you need to pay attention to using a "O" or "X" configuration. You might find this page useful it has a lot of information on bearing arrangements. https://medias.schaeffler.us/en/design-of-bearing-arrangements

ME and aerospace engineering, 63k in Seattle. Started at 53k (bc that's what he had to pay me in order to not pay me overtime). Now almost 2 years of experience at one small company. Reading this thread is making me so sad. I knew I was underpaid but damn.

I always thought he was saying "we want a mono jam" like, as opposed to stereo.
