What gives? I am used to the pin always bottoming in the hex first, then maybe needing to add a shim or two for a nice fitment. No loading on bearings either.
Oh and as someone noted earlier, the hex clamping screw could really be 1-2 mm longer for better thread engagement to avoid stripping the threads. Over all not too happy. I will run them and see how they work.
You shouldnt have to have the pin bottom out in the hex. The c clip on the front axle acts as a crush tube. I have had 0 problems with the clip as long as you dont reef down on the nuts and bend the clip. JC serrated wheel nuts help with not having to tighten down so much.
I am also one that has never had an issue with the front axles as mentioned earlier. 3 sc10's, 2 b4.1's, a whole season of racing, never an issue.....
I seen 1 break due to a guy hitting a large tripple wrong and nosing in the left front wheel, broke the axle at the pin hole.
