    not with the same seals..
    seals are different !
    there is one seal for all DT ratchet freehubs – 240/EXP
    and one for all DT 2/3 pawl freehubs – NBR70

    I did it on three Hubs so far,
    two times from pawls to star and once from star to pawl on a DT240 !
    A mate couldnt live with the sound of the 54 teeth ratchet and wanted the
    clicking sound of a Hope freewheel..using older (used) 240 parts was a bit tricky
    but didn`t experience any compromise for weather sealing with the right
    freehub body and seals on the 350/370
    as WZZZZ said the shells are the same for 350 and 370

    but you need two special tools which are quite expensive directly from DT
    I got mine from Poland for half the price but still expensive enough

    and especially for a well used wheel its absolutely necessary to have a proper wise
    and a solid workbench to release the ring in the Hub..

    I made my own ones some time ago,

    but these ones but should work with, boost, non boost, road…
    its neccessary to mount them on a piece of wood or metal to get them higher so

    quite expensive but well made..

    as said before I had the same problem…
    axle is fine for the tik tik,
    there is just too much paint in the thread on the frame..
    its necessary to cut the thread free of paint with a screw tap
    after that it fits perfect…

    I bought a fatbike frame from them a couple of years ago..
    the fat iron mk1…
    was quite a good deal
    frame finish, weldings ..all perfect
    the powdercoating was excellent,
    just the decals where not under the clearcoat..
    and didn’t last long..

    kangoo

    with thru-axle mounts its no problem,
    and still plenty of space as bikebouy said !
    I bolted two thru-axle mounts on a wooden board and fixed the board on the floor …
    reason for the board is , only two screws and the whole board is removable,
    and interchangeable for the “fatbikes board”
    I made the thru-axle mounts by myself , they have different heights, so the handlebars
    are one over each other..

    the kangoo is now five years old and it came without bulkhead,
    but for me.. a bulkhead makes more sense in several ways..
    big advantages in the case of an accident, heating in winter is far more efficient,
    cooling in summer also..
    less noise and less humidity if the bikes are wet and covered in mud..

    my KM frame in size large (2018, purple) weights 2.92 kg..
    the fork 1.41 kg..steerer not cut
    more than I expected, frame is not build up so far,
    but last year I borrowed the KM from a mate for a weekend and it was just brilliant
    with 27.5×3.0..
    didn`t notice the weight for a second..

    just bought one of these a week ago..
    price is quite reasonable and still available
    (last one in 170mm…)

    or these… spindle length 150mm should be for 170mm rear spacing i guess…

    for a few days with alpine meadows,glaciers,good marked biketrails from moderate to difficult ,hiking,paragliding,and good summits its perfect

    but its switzerland so prices are generally a bit high,

    there is even a good campground in fiesch…

    the pump head is from SKS,I bought it from Bike Components germany,

    unscrew the orange cap and there is a little plug which fits in the cutted hose from the jitsie..

    install an ear style cinch clamp,like in the vid here

    and finally some shrinking tube …

    they have both parts you are looking for..
    they have nearly every !! part for older rock shox forks

    but their shop software for searching seems a bit outdated,
    so best is to go …forks…spare parts….rock shox…rebas 09-11

    what I learned about press fit BBs is, if they creak..first thing is to check tolerances !!
    some BB shells are not exactly round due to the welding ..and while manufacturer save every penny they does not check or correct that..
    the shimano PF BB with its plastic bearing shells helps to hide that fault for a while…but to solve the problem the only way is to
    mill/ream the shell with a tool like this..

    http://www.2soulscycles.com/index.php/store/product/1043-bb92-reamer

    for me thats the reason why some are very happy with their PF BBs
    and others buy one BB after another and have always problems with it

    mmmhh, I think some history is interesting here…arcteryx was founded 1990 in vancouver BC,
    the founders had before a small company wich made climbing harnesses and quickdraws…the name was Rock Solid..
    from 1990 until 2002 arcteryx was an independent small manufacturer and all goods where “made in canada”, extremly expensive and highest quality for that time.. together with patagonia..
    I still have an vancouver made backpack ,quality is brilliant and its still or better again in use !
    2002 the company was sold to adidas-salomon and they sold it 2005 to
    amer sports finland..
    amer sports owns today among others also salomon, mavic, suunto, atomic..and sells toyota and french citroen cars in finnland
    personally I think quality changed during the years, but is now again very high…

    The ti. railed Bel Air RL is my favourite saddle of all time so the Bel Air 2.0 was a natural upgrade. Sadly the Bel Air 2.0 was horribly uncomfortable (the 30 or so grams it claims to have saved over the original seems to have made a massive difference).

    made exactly the same experience..
    and bought directly another Bel Air RL with Ti rails
    from wiggles..
