totalshell Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 save time money and hassle... nip down your local trials dealer get something of the appropriate length from a modern bike and change the bearings/ internal spacer as appropriate.. job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl ekblom Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 All modern bikes use aluminium alloy AA7075-T6. Don´t use AW6082-T6. It may be too soft. /Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each end as for the local trials dealer I'm in Somerset. Think BVM is my nearest about 70 miles. But will check out e bay for 2nd hand gasser one or such like Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Get one made up in steel, difference in weight the same as a dump ! Forget changing bearings, spacers, snail cams and slot in swinging arm ...... why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
