Welcome to the forums. Gladstone to Brissy will be a fair hike for the Edge competition, but shows good commitment from a newcomer
Yep good option that bit of slip makes things a lot more forgiving.

You're going to want some Triangulation in that frame there, or it will be turning itself into a Parallelogram pretty darn quick with a disc and teeth like that..
Even if they are just corner braces or something.. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

nice you loose next to no energy drilling out the center or turning a recess into the faces anyway.
you might want to look at a better way to do the teeth as well, i think they will break off pretty easy, would be alot better if they sat in milled pockets in the disk say. _________________ www.demon50s.com - Minimoto parts
