Sweet, thanks, mine is the RTR with some FT upgrades. Just wanted to make sure it would not put undue stress on that part because to be honest 2mm further back is not gonna help me at all.

Got some of those in the pit box. Nice call.

As for the question on the tires....

They are turned inside out... They are older proline holeshots with the middle cutout to get the pattern I wanted. Also to fit on the front rim... I am testing this on different hard packed surfaces for future developement.

What do you guys think?

Interesting Idea but the big questions is how do they work?

Default Aluminum Shock Caps

Have any of you tried the Blue Aluminum shock caps and tapped them to make them threaded so they would be bleeder shock caps? I never understood why they have not made aluminum bleeder shock caps. There must be a reason?

I imagine they don't seal as well. They might require a gasket of some form.

B4.1 Worlds: I lost an axle spacer (crush).. Do these alum 0* hubs use the same size spacer as an older b4? or is it shorter?

pn# 7377?

Default Shock Caps

If I remember correctly it was because the aluminum was to hard to tap for such a small screw.. Where the plastic is forgiving and you will be able to use the screw to tap the hole.

No, with the larger outer bearing you need pn 7933 from the GT2.

I plan on running the Avid Springs and Collars. I know Avid does not have the cups yet, so are you guys using the TLR cups?

ETA and Avid releasing the cups?
