NVWOCI WVS Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 A failed sidehop lead to me crushing one of the bolt holes on my rear pro2. Will the hub be under significantly more stress if i run a rear disc on 5 bolts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Yeah you'll be fine, Ricky Coleman from Hastings use to run his front disc with 3 bolts, and held the caliper on the mount with just one bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
