Well, it’s been over a year, and seeing everyone drop their build threads, I figured I’d update this crappy one. (I nominate myself for the worst build thread)
I finished this build for everyday riding in March of this year, but dug up a few photos along the way…
For me, securing the enclosure to the deck without drilling through the deck is most tedious.
I used a combination of these tools in doing so:
First, I drilled and spot faced the enclosure to accept the “washers” I machined to hide the head of the bolts. Then, drilling the deck. I lightly clamped the enclosure to the deck with the gasket, and used a transfer punch to mark the hole locations.
For me, installing inserts is the biggest pain to do correctly. I thread in a screw with two jam nuts, and tighten it to the insert, then slowly screw it into the deck, making sure it is square in both directions all the way down. Then, I screw the enclosure to the deck. If all the screws go in well, then I remove the inserts, apply some epoxy, then thread them back in.
Next, I machined some 42T ABEC pullies to fit the Hoyt 111’s that I dyed black.
Some recent changes to hook line….
I purchased some jump drives from @ApexBoards like 6 months ago, (they are amazing) but they didn’t work with my current build, as I wanted to make my own hubs……
Here is my journey thus far……
Make hubs….
