  • Further cad development of the 16" folder concept.

    I think I'll try and make this hinge using a barrel nut and threaded machine handle and maybe some locating pins. The hinge will be slotted so the handle can be quick released.
    I am lacking some vocabulary here making finding alternative clamping solutions difficult.

    I'd like to make a hinge that uses accessible standard hardware and which can be laser cut from flat plate steel.
    But other suggestions are welcome.

  • Very cool. Maybe you could tuck the handlebar more into the bike by putting the hinge under an angle?

  • Yes definitely. The rear end hinges at 4° to lift the rear wheel so that the bike can be rolled on the front wheel holding the bars before you collapse the stem. Do no reason that shouldnt also be on an angle. Thanks
