Sterring columns

[Buster]

Has anyone purchased a sterring column for a bucket? I'm using the traditional meatheod of sterring on my build, 23T and the flaming river section. What is the proper leanth of the column if I use the threw wall to the section?

This varies depending on length of body seating position arm length. There are a lot of variables..You could get the wheel you want hold it where you want it then measure.

It's a real good idea to set something temperary up till you get the body mounted, the seats at least roughed in and your pedals set. A fraction of an inch can make all the difference with any of these componants.

I used a length of 3/4" round rod wood to mock mine up. Must have done it a dozen times.

Driver comfort is number one!!! Plus I like to make my steering wheel as close to normal as I can get it, in case of an emergency your reaction time is very important, no time to think about which way to turn or where the heck is that pedal??? Get my drift? This can save your life and/or your rider's...
