RobinJI Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Right, Zoot has 135mm spacing. Profiles are 112mm spacing I think. Not 116. 116mm is only used because you use a 110mm hub with 2 3mm snail cams, making up the other 6mm. Most BMX's run 110mm dropouts. I don't know why profiles are 112mm in that case, but apparently they just are. So bare with me.Anyway, you can make them fit pretty easily, all you have to do is put a 6.5mm spacer on each side of the hub to space it out to fit in the wider dropouts. Easy enough.As said above though. Could just get a Pro 2 trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
