Overall Length: 2-9/16"
Interface Tolerance: Piece-to-piece, nominal diameter +/- .005 when fully tightened
Application:
Allows frames to be broken down into two pieces for compact transport in an airline-checkable case
Typical standard airline maximum size limit is 62" combined (length + width + thickness); standards may vary between airlines and should be verified prior to frame construction
Readily available cases measure 8.5" x 26.5" x 31" and 10" x 26" x 26".
Fits into 1-1/2" titanium tubing
The coupler is meant to be welded within the top or down tube; both ends of the coupler must be machined by the builder to match the inside diameter of the tubing used; a .001" to .002" press fit is ideal.
Features:
Includes two interlocking pieces and a single M6 x 1 x 25 capscrew that holds them together
ONLY use the bolt supplied by Paragon Machine Works for assembly; it is a high strength, corrosion resistant fastener.
Geometry accommodates both bending and torsional loads
Integrates seamlessly into the frame
Superior rigidity
