You can, but I wouldn't say it's recommended. :) Good points were brought up in the "tav and fat tires" thread. The tav plate is supported by that aluminum angle, without that, it flexes and vibrates and something bad would happen eventually I'm pretty sure. So far, its been reliable...

Reposting photo.. I took the tav apart to check the bearings, they're still good after a summer of riding. When I replace them, I'll use some better quality ones.

Reposting photos, not sure what happened to them. Now they're in my album
