bike_dummie Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 hi, i have some evo2 adapters but i get a new frame with 4bolt mounts. i was just wondering if i could drill them out to fit 4 bolts? Also when i fitted my old fork to my new frame i had a gap between the headset and the fork of about 2/3mm i dent tighten anything though the headset is also different to the one on the old frame is this right?

isitafox Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 No to the evo mount idea as the spacing on the mounts will be a lot wider than the evo mounts. As for the forks, did you swap the crown race for the one to match the new headset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might struggle then as you need the crown race to match the headset although one of the Echo SL crown races they sell in the spares section may fit (but don't quote me on that). Are the bearings knackered?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Czar Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Probably not, you could put the other crown race on the forks? I've done it before, it just fills the space and because the GU headsets are sealed it doesn't matter because it doesn't rely on the crown race to run the bearings on the bottom.
