Wow, cheers for the info... I am about 24hours away from a test ride with my 45amp controller and HS3540 running 16 cell Lipo.
I really thought that this would be ok without Torque arms, think I might make up a Torque plate instead.
Had a few problems with my build, my Canondale Forks use a 1.5 inch head where all the other Downhill bikes use 1 1/8th inch head, so I've had to buy some secondhand 888 Bomber forks
With the massive rear shock from my Canondale Gemini bike put on the Greyborg it is now silly high. The lowest seat position means I am on tip toe sitting on the bike and I'm not short 6ft with long legs.
Just means no one else shorter than me can ride it
