Management
Senior Project 2 Gantt Chart
Modified frame design from mock up due to the rider position
Ordering a 20” solid front fork with disc brake mounts
◦ Will weld mounts for other front brake
Begin manufacturing steering assembly

Frame
Frame A full scale
model was created from wood
Frame Using the finalized dimensions obtained
from model, a roll bar was designed
Frame The frame was then broken down into
elements and nodes
Frame Pieces of bamboo were then cut according
to the list of elements

Drivetrain & Frame Integrations
Drivetrain Revisions Gearing
50-34T crankset replaced in favor of 50-36-22T triple ring crankset
10spd 11-28T cassette replaced with 9spd 11-34T cassette
Crank arm design modified to collar-type adjustable crank mount

Comparison 27 available speeds vs. previous 20 speeds Broader range of gearing
“Granny” gear equivalent speed decreased ~40% Top gear equivalent speed increased ~13.5%
Negligible cost impact
Twin Disc Front Hub Twin disc mounts for standard 6-bolt rotors Machined from 6061 aluminum stock
Current Drivetrain Status
Components ordered Cassette, crankset, bottom brackets, single
sprockets, chain, derailleur (F&R), rims & spokes, brake rotors & calipers, shifters, cables

Aerodynamic Fairing – Plug Construction
Took cross sections from CAD model
Made wooden cross sectional templates
Aerodynamic Fairing – Plug Construction
Using wood templates to shape foam into plug
Next – Sand plug smooth, prepare for Vacuum Bagging
1. Vacuum bag layup of both halves of Fairing
2. Cut out top hatch of fairing and wheel cutouts
3. Integrate fairing into the frame and fiberglass halves together
