I have been struggling with my streetfox build for over 1 year. Mainly welding issues as I can not do the welding myself and finding someone to weld for me has been near impossible. I will be traveling quite far to get the welding completed so I am hoping to finally be in the home stretch!!
I am also still having trouble with the steering control rod. My 3/8in ball joints are threaded and they do not fit in the ends of the 1/2in tube.
I don't know if this is true everywhere, but in the US, there is a staggering amount of tube sizes, outer diameters, inner diameters and wall thicknesses. So my mind thinks that if the outside diameter of the tube that I have is 1/2 ", then the inside must be smaller and depending on the wall size of the metal, I may not get my ball joints to fit in the tube. The only tubes that I have seen on the web that have a 1/2 inside diameter are 3/4 on the outside. Can anyone recommend the correct tube to fit the ball joints? Maybe the outside, inside and wall thickness dimensions?
Has anyone found a folding mechanism that can be welded to the main boom so the trike and be folded? Would make it so much easier to transport the finished bike!!
Thank you all!!
