just a query has anyone ever built an all alloy atlas ,i,ve been toying with the idea in my head for a while now burtons sell an alloy pigs head,a local metal supplier can get me 60mm o/d alloy tubes 10mm thick wall ,my thoughts get stumped on the stub axles for a f/f set up ie would the bearings be ok sat on alloy stub axles also would the threads on an alloy stub be strong enough to snug up the bearings.i think its an interesting idea for a project with potiental for maybe 15 to 18kg weight saving .any thoughts would be welcome.
