Yay! My first Picard meme! It’s like a badge of honour. 🙂
So far, I may or may not die and it may or may not be related to my forks. It might crack or fail catastrophically and I’m a fud.
Measured the hole and it’s not really much deeper than the bolts I’m currently using, but will see if I have any bolts that size. I compared the amount of meat left on the mount with that on the Revs on my hardtail. Seems the Rockshox mounts are nowhere near as beefy as the Fox ones. The amount of meat that’s on the Revs as standard is pretty comparible to what I’ve left on the Fox brake mount.
So which bit is out of ‘spec’; the Fox forks, CK hub or Hope floating discs?
There’s a few threads over on MTBR about it. The spider on the Hope rotor is slightly thicker and there’s less clearance on Fox forks. If I remember correctly, someone even got CK to admit that their hubs were slightly out of spec. I’ll see if I can find the thread.
Why did you file the actual fork? Am I reading that right?!! I always file the adaptor.
It was rubbing the fork and adaptor. The spider was hitting the fork and preventing wheel from turning and the rivets were fouling the adaptor too. That also got the file treatment, but done a little more carefully.
Worst case, there’s plenty of Fox forks out there with gubbed stanchions, so should be able to pick up a 2nd hand set of lowers easilly enough.
Edit: Here’s that thread, post #45 seems most relevant.
