TRF201 Carbon Shock Tower

[Origineelreclamebord]

Hi everyone,

I was thinking about making this:


A carbon front shock tower The stock one is nice, but I did break about 3 of them last season - some unlucky incidents, but I see room to reinforce those 'braces' in the middle - those are the pieces that seem to break.

Also, I'm looking to get a bit more flex of the shock tower to prevent the front bulkhead from damaging - particularly indoors it gets too much of a beating. I could increase the flex with a glass/carbon combination plate, a thinner plate, or by putting O-rings in front of and behind the assembly when screwed onto the bulkhead.

The geometry at the moment is nearly the same: The shock holes are in the same spot, the turnbuckle mounts are 1mm further to the front to make the mounts symmetrical, but everything is the same otherwise
