Seat Tube
« on: September 06, 2021, 07:59:34 AM »
I have my seat tube bent and installed [3" bend on a 1/2" tube].
Problem is... I noticed the XL drawings call for a 5/8" tube. So I decided to double-check the tube size for the LE. I can't find it.
Now I don't know where I came up with 1/2" for the back seat tube size. 
Can a LE builder tell me what size tube is called out, and where in the drawings it can be found? 

It's not too late but man I hate going backwards!!

Thanks Les. I found the page you referenced.


It was the instructions for the XL that caused me to second guess the tube size for the LE. The first image is the XL, the second is from my LE drawing package.

I was kind of sort of almost positively sure maybe that the upper tube is also 1/2" on the standard LE.

I JUST CAN'T FIND IT!
