ISO2 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hopefully i am not alone on this. I have a set of Echo Urban and a Hope +40mm mount. It needs a good 4mm to be ground away to fit them on the forks disc mount.Has anyone else had to mod there + mount? I'm holding off on doing the grinding till i see what others have to say.

Skoze Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 All the forks are still alive and kicking bar the Fatty's 'cos the steerer tube fell out... It's fine, you take barely any metal off and it's not affecting the structural integrity of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) I know, you take a small v out of the disc tab on the forks. I've done it on 4 sets of forks, all of them were and still are fine.EDIT; Oh wait, are you planning on grinding the adapter!?EDIT 2; Yes, you are. Skoze in didn't read the topic shocker.The adapter's not got enough to it to be modified, take some metal off the disc mount on the fork Edited November 23, 2009 by Skoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
