Fitting Hope Pro 2 20mm converters...please help!!

Jamie G

Hi all,

I'm switching the 15mm axle kit for 20mm one for use with my Fox RC2's, but i've come up against a problem. When i install the 20mm adapters as shown on the Hope video, i end up with about a 10mm gap each side between them and the fork legs meaning it rattles from side to side. It also (from the vid) looks like you just remove existing axle, bearings and all and drop the new ones in place with a clip to hold it. So no bearings?

I'd appreciate any help as i may well be being a numpty, so feel free to tell me if the answer is obvious here


Cheers

Thanks Nicklouse, did think that was weird. I'm guessing they shouldn't have come out with the adapters i removed then? Can i remove the existing ones from the 15mm adapters i have?

In that the bearings are not removed. The reducers are just pulled out of them. The bearing ID is 20mm as are the ends which is why you have the C clips to hold them on the hub.

Ok, well the bearings came out with mine. Is it worth trying to get them off the reducers or just get new ones? Are they easy to refit by the way?


Thanks again mate

Just pull off. As easy as you got them out.
