UNION-spec front strut bar

The two are mounted completely different I don’t see how you can’t notice that even as a non mechanical engineer.

Anyways. I guess the guy who designed it as an idiot according to you. Oh well.

Pardon me for wording it wrong but in case you haven’t noticed, the bolt is not in a hinge.

Dude can you make one for my FC at that price?

  1. The mounting plane by itself is irrelevant since in shear you’re only worried about the relative angle between bolt shaft and applied load. If the angle is 0 you have pure tension / compression, otherwise you have some shear. If you were referring to the Autoselect bar and the ‘hinge’ bolts, they’re still in shear. I don’t see how you can’t notice that even being the ever so almighty Ahmed.
  1. Please show me in my post where I stated ANY designer being an idiot.

  2. ASTFUF.

  3. By the way, nice bar Mark. Keep up the blog stuff, shop’s looking awesome.
