Hi.


wanting to adapt my Fulcrum Red metal 5 centre locks to use 6 bolt. I understand KCNC etc do adapters.. but unsure as to the size required 12T or 20T... or may be someting else completely.

all advise welcomed.

    I guess this is the difference between the standard and oversize centerlock hubs, ie ones that take a cassette tool or HT2 BB tool. I m pretty sure the Fulcrum 5 is the former, smaller standard.

    12T tool design for standard QR axles

    FR model uses a 20T tool design for oversize 15mm QR axles

    I have a set of these wheels, they use a large outer locking ring which requires an HT2 BB tool to tighten/remove (or a pair of mole grips!). I seem to remember a post on here where a guy found that the lock rings fouled the adaptor bolts. You're best bet might be to get some centrelock rotors; 160mm for a fiver and 180mm for £12 from on-one http://www.on-one.co.uk/c/q/braking
