Cut a recess onto the back of the mount so it rests on the hanger like this?
I had considered that. Right now the only dimension Iâm relying on the the axle recess in the hanger itself. SR has to maintain that to a tight tolerance. The outer seat might not be machined to the same spec. Id rather make sure these will absolutely work with the SR spec than rely on them to make the rest of the axle the same way every time.
I really like the idea though - supporting the mount with the hanger itself.
To ensure compatibility though I think itâs gotta be a flush surface.

Or maybe tap a m5 thread hole onto the axle for the set screw to sit in.

I want to thank you for your feedback so far!

Sadly, this probably wonât work. I cannot say with certainty that the hangers are tapped in the same orientation every time. If they were then it could work.

That will definitely support any super surges of high torque from a motor if the hangar has a bit of meat in there.
Super technical I am

I agree with the others, awesome design! I would be worried a little bit about the axles coming out but if the loctite solves that, then sobeit. I assume that you plan to make these out of steel, since aluminum would probably bend and isnât that great for small axles.
I canât imagine there being any problem with it being a semi-permanent or permanent install, who even changes their axles anyway? If you are gonna have 10mm axles, might as well have them permanently and just deal with different size bearings. I like that the mount is integrated into the axle because it takes out one more moving part, and one more tolerance that you donât even have to worry about! Totally innovative.
I have to wonder if the sudden jolts of hitting something on the ground (scraping the plate) would want to work the bolts out. Maybe something like reverse threading them would help with that - if you thread one right hand and one left hand, then no matter if a mount plate hits the ground, it will only tighten it further rather than bumping it loose. My TB mounts have taken a beating and they are made out of steel. The ground scrapes happen no matter what, although I am running 90âs.
We just need to be able to get Surfrodz hangers now haha

Again, I will try to call them and see if we can buy a batch of hangers for a discount or something. No axles.
But they are a fickle crew to try and work with.

Yeah I guess thatâs what happens when itâs not your main export. It is a shame really because they had a dope black friday sale last year that I totally missed out on.

I think I can make something happen if it is stock they have.
They are reluctant to tool up for shit they donât do often. Aka adjustable baseplates.

Makes sense. I heard it was hard to get any trucks from them at all lately, is that true?
If they wont sell us hangers, leave it to me to China clone them lol. Easy peasy (also I may get sued so we would have to keep it lowkey)

Just make it a bit different wont hurt.
Sounds easy to me. Hex bar with some tapped holes. Lets do this!!!

sorry, noob here, but how does the red piece attach to the green piece?
Pressed in? CNCâd from single piece of steel? something else?
Thx
Maybe see if they will do a baseplate and hanger without the axles make them feel like they are getting a good deal moving a bunch of product at one time.
Thats pretty dope.
How would they do the flat part with a lathe?
Live tooling FTW
