tigriss Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Everything is in the title. i'd like to buy a disk protector for my mod koxx sky but i'm not sure it would fit on the frame. Someone tried it ? I don't wanna buy it for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perez Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 They fit every frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 There are a few frames they don't fit due to the shape of the dropouts. From the looks of things they won't fit on a Sky 2 unless you run it on the inside of your dropout, which might make setting your brake up trickier as you'll effectively be moving the disc mount over relative to the hub.

Surely you can take a file to it to run on the outside though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigriss Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I had the same idea of the thing as Mark W. I think it's possible to run it on the outside tilting it a bit but it owuld be less effective ! Another way to run it is to cut the dropout but I don't wanna do it. I'll probably make one by my own that fit on my frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Surely you can take a file to it to run on the outside though? The problem with the Sky frame is that the dropout has a sort of lip that runs pretty far back around the dropout, so you'd have to remove a fairly large amount of material to get it to actually clear, unless you just had the protector rotated around a lot.

tigriss Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 have to say that the wheel is always in the middle of the dropout. so it could be okay. But as i'm not sure about it i prefer make one by my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
