Technical dropped tube axle position question

found the answer on how to set caster on a drop axle with hairpins - answered below - Thanks all!

 

Needs to be 5 to 7 degrees leaned back.

 

What you're describing is caster and the ballpark inclination has already been mentioned.

But, split wishbones and a tube axle? Generally there's no flex in such a arrangement so there's likely breakage at the weakest link, wherever that may be.

That's all said without the benefit of pics which are always helpful.

awesome thanks!

 

You are correct - I meant hairpins and not split wishbones (too many projects going on).
