These limit me to 8" wheel. I've always felt that 275 is perfect for street (ruts) - not that 300+ is bad. My thought was a 245 with better RC is equal/competitive to a 275 with worse RC and scrub radius.
Some more thinkin' to do.

That spindle does provide a decent start point. The biggest improvement that can be made I can see is moving/shortening the steering arm.
I would love to see X-Rays of those welds. After seeing the failure on the non-road race version on TGO (yea, I know, he didnt take heed to the warning on their website) I have suspicions. I feel like a fabricated spindle like that should be welded to the same strict standards that are used for AWS D1.1 3G and 4G tests or something similar to it.
