Hi guys,
Long story short, I’m trying to fit thru axle fulcrum DB800 wheels into QR frame. Front was no problem but unfortunately stuck with the rear one as hub width is 142mm whereas frame clearance is 135mm. I have not been able to get any joy from Fulcrum technical support so have been searching on google and YouTube. Initially I was lead to believe that there is a conversion kit available but some people mentioned that because these are OEM wheels so fulcrum haven’t got the conversion option for this particular model? So the other option or should I say only option is to shave off 3.5mm end caps on both ends. Few guys have done it with success and according to them it’s a case of precision. I plan to take the wheel to a local machining company on Monday but thought will check to see if anyone has done it or any suggestions. Thanks in advance
