isitafox Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just dropped the axle out of my front Hope XC hub, is there anything stopping me fom just running an M6 tap down it so I can use it as a bolt up axle like a normal trials hub?

swill Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Yeah you may need to dtill it out a bit out so the bore of the hole is only slightly smaller than the tap otherwise may bugger your tap up, and good rule of thumb is twice forward then once back, to clear the swarf when cutting new threads Edited January 6, 2014 by swill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 No worries there dude, my old man knows his way around a set of tools. Did it the other day, piece of piss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I tapped mine out directly without running a drill through, the material was soft enough to not cause any issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
