axle bent
I made a rear axle for my rigid-framed motorcycle out of 4140 steel, and
the thing bent in use. I was advised that heat-treatment was optional, but not really necessary, so I didn't do that. Was this advice wrong? The axle diameter is 9/16", and bike weight = 375 lbs. I do sometimes hit the odd pothole, but nothing major. Jordan |
