Front Axle Assembly

Here is my front axle set up. Pretty straightforward except for the fact that I making every part. Most bikes built out there use a stock style front axle that slides in from the right side of the bike. and has an ugly flange nut on the left. I laid out the tire the tire and widths of the lower legs to give the right amount of crush on the front wheel spacers. Spacers are aluminum, axle 4140 steel. (think hard steel that won't bend) and the nuts will be stainless. Every nut, spacer or bracket really matters too me. It is easy to look at a bike and see that they used a certain part becuase it was on hand or easy to use, becuase doing it right was too hard, expensive or beyond their available resuorces.
