I built it using parts I had around the shop. I was able to straighten the blades so they were centered and was able to adjust the rake as measured at the dropouts. I used a hub with a mark in the very center and used a straight edge to measure down the center of the steerer to determine how much to adjust. After removing the hub I was able to bend the blades into the proper position. After making the adjustments I was able to ride with my hands off the bars instead of fighting to keep the bike going straight prior to making the adjustments.



Outstanding!
