Step 1:

Remove the pedal, handlebars, front brakw and front wheel. Turn the fork backwards and do dry fit:





Everything looked good until I eyed up the seat tube.....I guess I need a taller box!!! Box #2 was considerably bigger and gave me anout 4" of clearance above the seat tube and 6" on the end. Unfortuantely this box measured 139", 9" over the limit. I guess i'm cutting it down.






Now its time to prep the frame an fork. I use foam pipe insualtion from Home Depot held in place by zip ties. ITs available in 3 or 4 sizes. I use the biggest for the main tubes and a middle size for the stays and fork. For the fork ends I use an old hub secured in place with front skewer.

Fork is reinforced!!




Wrap every tube and the crankarms with the pipe insulation!!!!
