Front Der. Direct Mount

[Clockwork]

I'm not a big fan of the Paragon front der. direct mount because it's a fairly heavy chunk of steel and I don't like the square der. body against the round mount.

I pieced together one last summer but it's way too much work to be practical.



Would you be interested is a design like this? It weighs half as much and should be easy to open up the miter to 1.25" if needed.





Thoughts, criticisms?

I wonder if you could just have a PEM nut pressed on the back there instead of having to braze/get the machined nut made up. Just a thought, looks good!

That's great, Joel.
Why not just make the hole to be tapped?
I like it.

The only reason it's not tapped is because the material is too thin.

I'll get some quotes this week and see if it's viable.

Nylock nut on the back?

That would certainly work but I though it might be a PITA, especially for trail-side repairs.
