(WBO) fenceliner

[Funkme]

Great start,I like the whole junkyard fence theme...Interesting to see where this goes.

I'd just put a spacer under the bottom bearing race....
they come in all sizes, or make one from some pipe...

Carl. check them out... you may need 1 1/8" tho...

If you do that, the steer tube will move down further into the head tube. There may not be enough threads left to install the thick fork yoke, the lock washers and the final nut. Maybe mock it up and see...

Thanks for all the input on the fork. The problem with the spacer is that it's more of an angle issue than space issue, and there really wouldn't be enough threads. I've decided just to bend the bracket I have.

Well, I've done it before. You don't need to use the thickest ones.... It only needs to be lifted enough for the bracket (fork yolk) to sit level probably only about a quarter inch. I'd be tempted to switch that top cap nut and bearing race to a Schwinn style so the yolk (fork crown ring) will have a flat surface to sit on...

I went looking... see where this guy put his spacers? I would've put them under the bottom race, it lifts the frame a quarter inch, But gives you a cleaner look on top and mates the crown ring flat on the bearing race. Is your bearing race flat? Looks like it has a lip on it, that's why I suggested a Schwinn style... It's just nuts a bolts man, you can figure this out.

Things have been crazy at work = zero time to work on the fenceliner. I'm going to get it done even if it's 10 minutes at a time. I finally did get the fork straightened out. All this down time and I still haven't decided on 24" or 26" wheels, skiptooth or if not what sprocket to use.
The current set up.

Could steal parts from this...24" Skiptooth. Bermmasters or Thickbricks will fit correct?

Or this.....

This isn't bad.

Leaning towards this drive train off a old house painted women's schwinn.

I'm making a decision tonight and moving forward.

 

[Funkme]

I'm likin the last one...

 

[pick]

The last one, for sure!

It would look great with staggered tire sizes. 26" out back, 24" in front. lace the skip tooth into the 26" wheel

If you don't want to lace a new wheel, go 24" all around with a 3" tire out back and a 2.125" or 1.75" tire out front.

Thanks for posting this info about flipping the springer around!
Thinking about doing this on one of my bikes, can I still mount a original front fender with it flipped?

 

[SILVERKINGPC]

Try the fender mounted backwards! Er, uh, mounted backwards facing forwards on the fork!

 

[Hoek]

I'm tapping out, work and general BS got the best of me. I'll keep plugging away at it, but I'm out of the WBO

Sad to see your build out.
