hi clean regarding skys i can see they are similar to dp forks with that closed bit on drop out i ended up loosening cones winding axel out completely then putting wheel between forks hold cones then wind axel back in and out till its on ,much patience required :LolLolLolLol: as for shortening axel just do one side then wind axel in ,i took 1.5cm off mine with grinder and thin metal cutting disc just enough to get pegs on fully.but would probably be as well to flatten tho if thats ur plan :daumenhoch: cant help you with set lock sorry..

Nice idea, Rick; I hate the thought of grinding flats into the Axles, to be honest. :shocked:
Any views (from anyone) on how much thread I should leave "spare" sticking out from the nuts? I won't be fitting pegs, as these only really appeared after I stopped riding, and I want a notalgic ride rather than a fully tricked out beeeyatch! ???
For the record, the continued support from the RAD Community is proving invaluable; thank you so much,
Clean. :coolsmiley:

The Landar locking ring should only replace the top section of your standard headset , the grub screws "in theory"should pinch it tight ... The Landar ones arent the best though, would just stick to your headset as is ...
