|
Hi Folks,
Bought a set of clip ons that are supposedly for 35mm tubes. Got them and I have to really force the clamp portion open to get them on the tubes.
All I have to measure with is a ruler, but I show the OD of the fork tube to be 35mm and the ID of the clamp portion of the clip on to be 34mm
Seems way too tight to me. I bought them from Steadfast Cycles in Canyon Country, California. They say that's the way the are supposed to be.
I'll take some pics tomorrow.
Opinions?

OK: I uscrewed the cap from the end of the fork tubes and I was able to get it on without a lot of drama. However the bolts only catch about 2/3 of the threads in the lock nuts and barely engage the nylon.
I'll use loc-tite when I install them. I'm sure they'll be OK.
