While I’m off sick and incapacitated, I’ve slowly been working on getting the kids seat onto an old Norco Sasquatch frame I got from Poodles. Built like a tank.
It’s hard to fit a kid seat onto a small or medium frame with enough room for your ass on the seat to allow proper off road riding. The pannier m5 mounting holes on the dropouts were too close to the axle, and as I’m using a solid bolt up 10mm axle, the rack mounting points had to move.
Hopefully these little ally tabs hold up to the abuse. Seems I can get 30-40Nm onto the bolt up nuts and the hub doesn’t bind, so the tabs shouldn’t move
Forks are some lovely old fox 36 van R coils.
Proper build log to follow
