    It's fine to need to spread the frame a touch.

    Make sure the tensioners are on the outside. I had to file off a thick bit of paint on the drop out to get my tensioners in. Check that. It's normal for this to happen every now and then. I see it on disk brake mounts of Trek and Specialized bikes I build at work. 

    Yeah, adaptors for the front hub. I rode them for a bit, solid.

    No idea on cranks, give er a go!

    Cheers dude will have a mess with it. May go for the adaptors, it will get me rolling sooner and can order a hub in the future. 

    Only had to pull the frame slightly by hand so Im sure theres nothing to worry about. 

  2. Thanks for the replys I didn't have much time to mess about with it so will have a mess about with it over Christmas. I did see those adaptors but thought I may as well get a bolt through front hub surely it will make it stiffer with a bolt through axel. 

    Think ill just use the truativ hoses felt cranks from my fourplay save having to mess about with the xt cranks. 

    Will let you know how I get on. 

    Cheers. 

  3. Hi all. I have an inspired fourplay 2013 i think, purple coloured 1. I've just bought an inspired console frame kit. I was hoping to swap all the parts over on to. But the console has a bolt through axel, would the trial tech hub from my fourplay be compatable? As on the tarty bikes site there is a trial tech hub that says it came standard on the console? But appears to have to two 5mm Allen key bolts on the picture the same as mine.

    Also when I fitted the rear wheel I had to slightly pull the frame open for the wheel to slot in to the drop out but it seemed as though the chain tensioners would not fit due to lack of space is this normal? Am I missing something? Am I stupid? Or is the trial tech hub from my fourplay to wide? 

    And lastly, I replaced the xt crankset on my mountain bike recently as all the chainrings were worn and it was cheaper to buy a complete crankset than it were to replace the chainrings alone. Would it be possible to fit the xt crankset with my existing chain ring and bashring and would they fit the console?

    Sorry for the novice questions guys, I ask on here as I know it's the best place to get an answer as you lot are alot more clued up than I am. 

     

    Cheers Ben.

    Oh yes, I will let you know when we out next. Could do with a trip to stoke plaza but not in school holidays.

    Haha yh you don't want to go during the school holidays. Give me a shout if you head down this way although I wouldn't mind riding the old ruins where the queen drove past you.
