Adam '93 Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) I had to use quite a few spacers to mount my rear mono trial because of the odd spacing of onza hubs, so to be on the safe side I'd like to get some slightly longer bolts. I think the standard ones are M6 x 18, I'm not sure how bolt measurements work so what would I need to add a few mm's of thread? Any help appreciated! Thanks.

The other dimension required (assuming pitch is the same) is the length of the screw. If you get something like 25's you can always cut them down slightly if necessary but it depends how much extra you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam '93 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think an extra 3 or 4 millimetres is all I need, although I don't see a problem with them being a little too long as there isn't anything for them to hit. Thanks for the help I'll go for M6 x 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Which frame and snail cam (if you're using them?) combo are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam '93 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Which frame and snail cam (if you're using them?) combo are you using? Echo lite 2011 with TR snail cams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ah, right - was going to suggest running them on the outside of your frame if you were able to, but yeah, never mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam '93 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Ah, right - was going to suggest running them on the outside of your frame if you were able to, but yeah, never mind Well that would solve my problem, if it was possible. If only onza didn't make their hubs such a flingin' flangin' awkward spacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kane666r Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 i have the same problem with my mono i have to space out the caliper from the frame, but after reading this i take it must be my viz hub as they are same dimensions as onza hubs, so if i got a different hub this would cure this problem?

It should do yeah, i don't know if it's worth changing your hub though it's only a few spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
