adam trials Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It would probably not work because of the braks but why not try it?See if it works, if not use a 20".Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJtrials Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi mate,no it doesn't work as I tried it when I had mine and it was impossible because of the V brakes.CJ.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted February 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 thanks for all the fast replys. i had the crazy idea that if i filed away at the little gap where you put the axle through the frame then you may be able to move the wheel forward far enough to make the brakes line up. was i wrong do you think.

tom 20 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It will only work if your using hs33 brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 It will only work if your using hs33 brakes it'll work with v brakes too if you extend the dropout slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-liteboy Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 hi mate i think it will because my mate had just a 20'' frame but he put a 19'' on it and he ran a vee brake and all he to do was move the pads right down, then he put a maggy on and just moved thatright down so hope this helps.cheersjake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
