If the holes are too small then the only thing you can do is drill it I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
court Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) Yeah it's possible, you just need to machine some inserts that screw into the axle ends which have an M6 thread down the centre, so you can run M6 bolts like the try-all, trialtech etc use. My brother's running his king set-up like this in his curve and also used it on the cannibal before. No need to drill such a nice frame this way Send us a message if you need anymore info dude!

Mikee Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Not the best idea laid down so far, but converting it to quick release would work...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 QR would work fine....The axle is held so securely in the bolt through dropouts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh barker Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 QR would work fine....The axle is held so securely in the bolt through dropouts it doesnt, tried it in my canibal 3 (same dropouts). drill out the end of your axle then tap it (m6 thread) shuv a bolt through sorted, did this with my king. No problems at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh barker Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Was it a quick release king? yes, you could change the axle inserts but still the fun bolts have to much of a big base where they bolt in to the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
