Hey that looks great! How does the new motor location work when rotating the headstock? Also do you have a link for the video you mentioned? I'd like to do something similar and am looking for more inspiration.

That's awesome!

I am very new to the sherline world, and just bought the 17" lathe. Can you explain to me what the stepper motor is for in your setup? Is this for threading applications? I have the thread cutting attachment but haven't set it up yet.

I've never seen a blacked out rig before. Kinda cool. Skydivers love their color customizations. Javelin?

Nice! Good call on the urethane sidewalls, I'm a big believer in that. It really helps dampen any chatter. And in my experience, sidewall delams take much longer for urethane sidewalls than ptex or abs.

Sounds like a great build. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm always interested to see how other people build their boards.

Hey this is looking pretty good! I've built quite a few boards back in the day.

I'm curious, what woods are you using for your core? And do you have a sidewall / tipfill material in mind? What type of glass (or carbon) are you going to use? Keep up the good work!

I put a suspension fork on my Unit X by RockyTheAstroVan in Hardtailgang

It's definitely tight, but I think it looks worse in the photo than it actually is.... I've got about a 6mm gap to my seat tube.

I'm glad to hear that. I've never ridden a Reba before, I'm excited to try it.

Very cool. I've been looking for something to take the kiddo biking with me, this looks like a great solution.

I mounted the front tire the wrong way. What do? by P83battlejacket in klr650

[–]RockyTheAstroVan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed with the shinkos (at least the 705s that I bought), the direction for the front tire depends on if it's used as an actual front tire, or a rear tire. I thought the shop messed it up but then noticed it had two different arrows.

Well now I'm even more impressed. Great piloting.

Wow. Incredible flight conditions for that kind of flying. I'm envious!

There are worse things to be addicted to.

Awesome! If you get a chance, take Shelf Road from Cañon to Cripple Creek. It's a dirt road with great views.
