Re:

Hey bud, Whilst the 29" fits, are you sure there's enough tyre to crown clearance, or are the stanchions way longer than the actual stroke :?

They are long enough to prevent any tyre to crown contact, unsure on the exact clearance but it's not just a few mm.

Re:

Seriously tempted, could I briefly dib whilst I ask silly questions please...

Starting with the travel?
How many holes has the hub?
And is everything you need there to clamp the hub in the drops? Doesn't require a through-axle or owt like that?

Brain is only 27% effective due to heinous manflu, so please forgive me if these things should be obvious even to an idiot!

I also have man flu Get well soon buddy.

Travel is around 3 1/2".
Hub is 36 hole.
It has an axel that slides through either way and centralises in the dropouts, two pinch bolts per side. Nothing extra needed.

Re:

Sorry to be so slow, finally dug my rims out last night and they are, predictably, 32hole.
Gahhhh!!!

Real shame as these would've been absolutely perfect for the build. Tempted to look for more rims but decent, wide, 24“ that don't weigh a ton are few and far between... and mine are red and NOS :facepalm:

At the price I'm selling the forks and hub at , £40 posted, why not buy them and stash whilst you wait to locate the perfect rim? :xmas-big-grin:

Re:

Nice idea, but it's taken eighteen months or more to find the pair I've got! Frustrating though, they'd otherwise work perfectly together...typical!

Re:

Found some rims for fifty something quid, would anyone like a NOS pair of red 32hole DDG YoYo for fifty something quid?!

 

[elPedro666]

Don't want to get your hopes up but I *may* have found a rim...

Do you still have these please?
