Krisboats Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 right, i'm posting this for conner (gap to manual) because his internet is gayed up. basically he got a new frame, came round my house to swap the parts over and use the crank extractor and when we put his rear wheel in, the hub is mega tiny and the QR skewer pulls his dropouts in by about 1cm before it's even touching the ends of the hub. Basically he needs to know if this will cause any long term problems and if it's possible to whack a bigger axle in there. The wheel is too far over to one side of the frame as a result as well, the tyre nearly rubs on the frame. cheers kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 Hmm , I know that my TA26's rear triangle gets "pulled" in about 5-7 mm when tightening a Q.R , the dropouts kinda seem to sit wider than is neccesary . :P What hub is Conner using ? If , as you say , the dropouts are only beginning to touch the ends of the axle after 1cm of movement , that doesn't sound healthy , given the stresses placed on them during riding . You say the frame is new - to him , or shop new ? It's a new TA26 right ? Not the previous version with the strut betwen the top and downtube ? Kinda curious about this , keep us posted .

Waynio Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 it will be ok. BUT just measure to make sure the axle is 135mm wide. also go to your LBS and have the wheel "Dished" correctly. Waynio.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 (edited) theres about 4-mm gap to the hub on each drop out. no im the second owner i think and the hub i use is a ringlé. Edited August 6, 2005 by Gap To Manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 dont forget these frames are made in like 100's and 100's so the tolerances as long as it meets their criteria wont be a problem, and to be honest it is usually "Tolerances" are checked in the UK and they may not be checked. so there may be a batch of them that are a few mm out more than the others.
