trials hoe Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 You'll have to file the forks down if your going to file anything go for whatever will be cheapest to replace, or less dangerous when rigged. id rather ruin a replaceble hub part than a set of forks.....

Martin Reynolds Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Kind of as with the Czar hub, the bolts go through the forks, rather than with a conventional hub where the axle goes through the forks. By the looks of the first picture, you'll only have to file the forks down a millimeter or two. if your going to file anything go for whatever will be cheapest to replace, or less dangerous when rigged. id rather ruin a replaceble hub part than a set of forks..... I agree with you. but he problem with this is he'd have to file the bolts down, and they aren't that thick in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) maybe file THIS place? Edited September 10, 2012 by clerictgm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Reynolds Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Looks about correct, It'd be the immediate space after you put the washer on. I had to do this to fit my echo hub to my trialtech forks, cause the hub's 10mm and the forks are 9mm. I did what trials hoe suggested because modifying a £35 front hub is far cheaper than a £120 set of forks if you screw anything up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
