BIKE JIG DAY!
2008 February 23
Well, this is my first blog, 2nd bike jig, lets do this. For my next bike I am making a fully adjustable jig. every thing is moveable, except the bottom bracket. So here are some photos…
trying to get a tool that I can use for multiple builds
head tube hieght adjustment
and the length of the bike… will post more when I figure out the rest.
any critsm of comments welcome.
I like where you’re going with this!
If you can, try to make your “fork” adjustable, from what should be the axle height. This will allow you to adjust your axle-crown height & head tube angle to real dimensions, without complicated math. Diggit?
I need to come up with some good shots of my jig, whcih should give you an idea…
OR- if I can find shots of my first jig, that might be helpful too. Essentially it was a big “box” made of 4″x4″ steel, with tracks run in the bottom & front end. A milled piece of aluminum set the head angle, which was a pain because you couldn’t really change the HA. Anyhow, I won’t do it justice trying to describe it- and you’re off to a better start here anyhow.
Keep it up!
Great job.
Just curious as to species of Bamboo used?
