It worked out great, som im using the R4 ST on my RRR Shimo now.

R4 tower appears to be a little bit thicker than the shimo.

Shock holes are a little bit different aswell.

Default Pillow balls issue

Hey guys, i have a slight issue, the pillow balls where really tight going in the plastic arms both rear and front pairs. So tight that in two of them i couldn't continue half way as it became two hard. I greased them to get things a bit looser but still it didn't help.

So went for plan B: i have this tool that create thread in aluminium (sorry don't know the technical word in English) and used it in the plastic to loosen everything up.

It worked but now its too loose i mean it can get screwed in / out very easily which i believe that with some serious racing some will get unscrewed.

Thought of putting some CA or epoxy in order to create some grip.

What would you suggest

Thanks

I do not have my kit yet in front of me so i don't know how tight it was for you. Usually they are tight but not so you can't turn them.

what you used is called a tap, but i'm not sure when they tap the threads if they tap it out to the exact size, they may go 1/16 or 1/8 smaller to keep the ball tight and if you tapped it out to the size of the ball it would be loose.

you can try to soak the balls with alot of lock tight but would let it dry before putting them in, if that don't work you could use teflon tape.

next time though use a spare or go to you shop and let them look and replace the piece that maybe defective.

I will inspect mine next week and comment on my findings.

I am sure that the problem was because of the plastic mixed with carbon whats strange is that i never happned to have these issues with my Evolva M3 Evo which has same part number of pillow balls and plastic feels the same.

Will await your feedback
