I'm looking to fit a fork with a 20mm through axle on my 2009 Enduro Expert, which came with a 15mm Hi-Lo hub.
If I remove the two reducers on the sides of the hub, the hole that I find is about 20mm wide. My guess is that with two spacers, one on each side, I should be able to fit the hub on a 20mm axle, right? The only downside would be that everytime I remove the wheel, the spacers would fall off, because they don't enter the hub hole - they'd be basically like thick washers.

Anybody has done this? I don't want change the front hub (I wouldn't like to have unmatching hubs) and I don't have the cash for a pair of new wheels, but I really want to try the stiffness of a 160mm 36 fork and ditch this old 32 Talas which moves more by flexing than by sliding.

Thanks.

PS: anybody know what "hi-lo" means for Specialized hubs? do they have any special feature that warrants such a name? ]]> Specialized Tex1 http://forums.mtbr.com/specialized/converting-15mm-hi-lo-hub-20mm-861049.html http://forums.mtbr.com/specialized/epic-s-works-sram-cassette-chain-recomendations-861022.html Wed, 19 Jun 2013 03:19:25 GMT My stock 1099 cassette and KMC X10SL chain are pretty shot.

I am trying to find out the correct headtube diameter of a 2012 Demo8.

The reason i sI want to run a Fox40 in these (No I wont botter with the RS Boxxer) and I dont want to use the ridiculous specialized bumpers.

One mechanic told me I need a Cane Creek external bottom cup model: EC49/30/H12/K which I understand is for a Headtube inside diameter of 49mm- Another mechanic told me the Demo8 has an HT ID of 56mm. :eekster:

Can anyone please tell me confidently which is the correct cane creek external bottom cup I should get for the Demo8???:confused::confused::confused::confused:

I thank you all in advance for any help!? ]]> Specialized cesalec http://forums.mtbr.com/specialized/2012-demo8-headset-size-help-860938.html http://forums.mtbr.com/specialized/32-6-mm-collar-860925.html Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:32:07 GMT Hey guys,
My dads working to build up a new frame but he's having trouble finding a collar. The local shop said they can't get one quick enough for the up coming race in 2 weeks. Anybody have an easy way to get one or even better a spare one? ]]> Specialized Heath27 http://forums.mtbr.com/specialized/32-6-mm-collar-860925.html
