Title: wheel bolts
Post by: candy turbo on 03 September 2008, 18:40

got my wheel spacers today for the back of the edition 30 , original bolts are 30 mm long so i ordered 40 mm (10 mm spacers ) but they have sent 50 mm ones ! i ve tried them and seem ok , i even poked a pencil in the holes and there is plenty of clearance .  can any one see this being a problem ??  whats behind the disk ??   cheers guys
