10mm drop-outs to 14mm

(1/2) > >>

spesh:
i have some hoffman forks coming that have 10mm drop-outs,can they be re-drilled to 14mm
is it hard to do or could any machine shop do it?
or am i better off getting new forks?

dj_benice:
shouldn't be all that difficult, depends if there is enough meat on the dropouts though as to whether they will be strong enough, decent pillar drill should do it  :daumenhoch:

lazychubs:
just get a 14 mm axle that is flat ie 10 mm

BrianP:
yep, definitely enough meat on these forks, (about 6mm thick) they'll be spot on after being cut.

Brian.

spesh:

cheers dave
