Thats a lot of effort but I wouldnt be using the Ringle stem, the faceplates are in the Manitou FS head tube category of long lasting high durability...
albystarvation":1jm3vjtf said:Speaking about just jacques's images, I have some front BigUn hubs.
In this image, you could see what I call a Gen1 BigUn: fat hub centre, the red is QR, the silver is 20 mm. As you can see , this silver one has two top hat adapters, plus the bearings are pressed directly into the hub's sides, and a spacer tube fitting snugly between the bearings. In fact, I converted the red QR one to 20 mm by buying correct bearings, plus two Bulb 20mm top hat adapter, and carefully cutting a 20mm ID alloy tube ( seatpost) to the correct lenght.
In this image, you see what I call a 2nd gen Bigun ( slim hub centre): the adapter is much more comlex: two conical side adapters, bearings on a shoulder of the adapters, all the asembly fitting INSIDE the center tube.
Hope this helps.
Dynati, perhaps you will be willing to part with the rear bolt-on axles? Just le me know,
thanks.
BTW, i don't need the red QR parts, if someone needs them..
Alberto.
