Thank you. The wheels were bought online from a pit bike dealer.
He sells them in pairs but had 4 front wheels from using the
rears in warranties.
Sadly it was just a one off but if there is a motorbike store
near you or online they might be able to help.

Great video (some of us old fellas might not enjoy the "music?"
;D)
For easier results, use a firm bench and a heavier hammer, fewer
hits do less damage .

UPDATE:
The rail pieces are cut and laid out on a piece of reinforced
MDF as a worktable for welding. My chassis is stupidly complex
but I think it will be worth it and things are going pretty
smoothly so far... :)
Another video will be out when it is welded so hopefully before
Stretton.

Hiya all,
Chassis video part 1 out. As we are on holiday editing took
about twice the normal time due to being on a laptop rather than
my desktop which is considerably faster! The part 2 should
HOPEFULLY be out before stretto but thats not guaranteed. Lots
of planning has happened in the last week and I've had some
exciting ideas about the "modern" aspect of the build. More
about that soon

Watch it if you want and feel free to ask any questions you want
about that video or the build.

AND ANOTHER VIDEO IS UP!!!!
Chassis build part 2 is up on youtube. This is what you will be
seeing at stretton from me this Sunday. I even included some
different music for different tastes ;)

once again, share and ask away with any questions or
improvements you have to both my cyclekart and editing skills.

the rail part of the chassis is done!
School has slowed me down lots but I'm currently editing the
last chassis video and I think the next thing to do is
suspension. I'm intrigued to see what you all have to say about
my suspension because I'm trying something I haven't seen on a
cyclekart yet... front sliders. Springs have been ordered and
I'm waiting for them to arrive.
cheers, Marek

Do you mean sliding pillar like a Morgan? Though I've now got
30mm diameter springs fitted, rather than the 40mm ones shown.
I'd avoid building in camber as the camber increases as the kart
leans, I'm going to have to modify mine to take the camber out.
