I'm interested if exteroceptive isn't.

Hello, anyone got a box around Tottenham Hale?

Got a big set of rotors, as I read on the cargo bikes thread that big brakes are a good. Maybe not great with quick release.

I still need to get a new cassette. This one is 34t but might get a 36t. Although I think I read close ratios on a cargo bike are nice. I guess I need to see what I can find in stock.

Haha thanks. Yes i quite like it. I just hadn't thought of doing it another way until after I had finished it, so then the other way seemed the best.

Thanks it has worked out really well, a real stroke of luck. Yes it's going to have a large rear pannier rack over the wheel.

Adding the next tubes was a little tricky as the dropouts aren't designed to have anything like this. I've used the mudguard mount to braze too. It's a bit of weak spot in the design so I'm planning to add more support. I wasn't sure if the chain would clear in the highest gear but it looks like it might just work out.

I wasn't sure how to do the new wishbone. Ended up copying the original and having it right up at the seat tube. It looks a bit cluttered and might have been better with a longer big tube that met where the seat stay bridge is.

I've been looking at the surly big dummy and big fat dummy for inspiration but a lot of design decisions have been as I have gone along.

A 29" wheel might not have been the first choice for wheel but it's allowed me to have a slightly shorter chainstays but keep the same length of cargo area. It will put the cargo slightly higher, which probably makes more difference to handling than the wheelbase but who knows.

The only bit I drew out was to see how much the rear dropout would move up by extending the chainstays. It worked out about 30mm. I wanted to get a rigid fork and found a 26" dirt jump one that had 30mm less a2c than the original suspension. This has worked out great as it has lowered the BB to a more cargo friendly height but still kept the headtube and seat tube angle.

I'm not really clued up on the subject but I have seen this Ron's bike post.

The comments aren't that enlightening but generally seem positive about the idea. Maybe it's down to the 6000 or 7000 series thing phildas mentioned.

Also interested if it's the wrong size for merle

Great stuff as usual. Loving the repair on the cotic.

Keep us updated with the oxygen machine, interested to hear how that goes.

That is what I love to see in other people's threads so glad it's not just me.

Thanks! Your new one is quite similar, great for commuting.

I've been wanting a cargo bike for a while and now I want to transport my tools around it's more necessary.

I bought this inbred from here fairly cheaply as it had cracks in the chainstays and is generally a bit battered. It seemed the perfect start for a long tail cargo design.

Made some progress earlier in the year

Dimpled the stays okay and got it running. Ended up fitting a longer seat post, mudguards and riding it most of last winter. Ultimately I think it's a bit small.

Sporadic update as I have some time off and a new project I'm excited about.

Didn't show finished photos of these projects though.

Fixed the frame in theory. The bottom bracket cones really struggled to line, I guess the shell has warped with all the messing about. It's been built back up but haven't seen it yet.

Nice, could be interested. Where about in south east?

Thanks but think the driver was the only thing worth keeping on that.

I would say the right hand silver piece is for mudguards.

Left black bolt is for racks as much more solid.

Hello,

Possibly a bit of a long shot but I know there are a few bmxers on here.

Cheers

Any more details on these? I could be interested if passhunting isn't.

Thanks that is great.

I hadn't realised they were going to be quite that expensive.

Anyone had any luck getting hold of S&S couplings as an amatuer builder?

@user71349 makes lovely bags and might be a better bet.

Sorry, haven't been able to make time to do these now I am back at work. Let a few people down already and don't want to repeat.
