[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 99580, member: 456"] Thanks for all that Vic. It is interesting how different people come up with different designs to do the same job. I started with the pre-conception that it had to have a lever and played around with bits of plastic and wood until I got the movement I wanted. I assume that both Macvette and Vincent did something similar. You had a different vision to start with and yet all the designs seem to work well enough. I found it amusing to watch some of the videos that you gave links to. I always assume that there is a team of highly trained people behind commercial designs but when I saw them having to insert 'o' rings and rotate fork legs to get clearance, similar problems which I had to overcome, I realise that at some level we are all just chaps messing about in sheds. I do agree with you that it would be a mistake for Vibrac to put some slop into his system but it is his bike and health so it is up to him. It is just worth emphasising that it should not be necessary and could be counterproductive/dangerous. [/QUOTE]
