Now this is a topic I can get in on!!! I never saw this thread last year when I got re-acquainted with the sport. Good job bumping it up.
Now that we have Pat and Andy doing thier thing here in So Cal. with thier hack.
First of all, nice build! Second, unless you own and race/ride your hack you would not (and nobody did) notice the "pivot" mount where the hack mounts to the rear of the bike.
At first glance I thought you made a design error by using a simple single bolt mount to the rear axle. My first thought is, "you are going to tear that axle nut right off!" Then on a closer look I see the drop down plate with the tube welded to that, and the hack is "U" bolted to that. BRILLIANT!!!
The rear of the hack can pivot instead of flex.
I was fortunate BITD to have friend, a parent of a young racer, who had a brilliant engineering mind. We would re-work and weld up my hack after every race.
Not to take anything away from todays flat tracks, but Corona, Yarnell, Rancho and Randal Ranch were brutal on our old school hacks.
I hope you guys are enjoying that thing as much as we did back then. I sure like seeing these come back.
Good on ya!
Dennis Dain

Wassat Red Baron ? Corona , Sidehacks & Brutal , I don't believe you. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c230/J1B/Action%20Now/CoronaHacksplashSM.jpg) Bridge , it may have been a co incidence but I remember that a few months B4 the finished sidehack got posted here , Matt dropped by & asked me for a few stock lengths of 20mm PVC conduit , a conduit bending spring , 20mm conduit joiners etc & some PVC glue. Matt's as handy with the Tools as I am with Electricity , but I reminded him not to cut the conduit with the bending spring inside , especially if he was using a hacksaw rather than the conduit cutters I tried to convince him to take & use. He also borrowed my collection of BMX Pancake Magazines , saying something about an old article in an issue that he wanted to look at. Then a few months later the sidehack turned up , a refined hybrid with the old school look of the one we used to race bitd , like I said probably all just co incidence (IMG: style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c230/J1B/BMX/Old%20BMX%20hood%20Pix/Blacktownserioushacks.jpg) That's Fox on the the pedals & me monkeying around leading @ Blacktown in the very early 1980's JB I'll try & squeeze Matt for some more explicit materials , technical , construction information/methods etc on the art of sidehack building , especially for you Bridge (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Matt's a very quiet achiever in his way, all the time , unlike his older big brother , who operates from stealth to obnoxiously loud mode in a random manner.

QUOTE (BridgeCity @ Apr 15 2008, 11:48 PM)  Well heck, if I knew it only took some pvc glue and pancake mix I'd have whipped one of these out a long time ago. shoot, maybe I can email Reilley and get one already completed. LOL I 'll get your email address off my brother and send you some stuff (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm thinking of making a Lefty ATM

Perhaps a left handed narrow gauge hack from bitd might be worth looking at & re engineering to suit the new school track design , plenty of inertia to pump & jump on something like this. (IMG: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c230/J1B/BMX/Tuf%20Moves/81Technohak.jpg) Yeah they were making hacks like this in Oz back in 1981. JB
