@harrismagnum04 This was designed more for getting myself acquainted with suspension design and probably does more for comfort than it does for speed, though i suspect it does help out with speed but only by absorbing bumps. a rigid frame with no suspension would likely have better grip on flat surfaces, and suspension only helps out on rough roads (to keep all 4 wheels on the ground and the driver's organs inside him)
I can see the Azusa brake drums are acting like they do... Mine did the same...Until I found a pipe that would fit inside the drum and pounded the drum round.. I also trimed the backing plate and shimmed the wheel out, so just the edge of the brakes were showing...I also cut back the shoes edges "The lower part "Flate and the cut the 'U" shape back" So the brakes do not rub... But the Front end looks great...
hi there can you say the suspension helped you go faster by helping with grip ?
