Title: Peregrine DMR Axle Swap - Help Needed
Post by: Sibomb on June 16, 2015, 01:48 PM: Afternoon people of Rad :slayer:

I have a set of peregrine pedals 1/2 axles and want to do the swap to some 9/16s, been told that you can switch using DMR axles, but there are 3 different versions on the site below, V12 Version 1, V12 Version 2 and a set called Vault

Anyone help with which set can be used and any modifcations that need to make for them to fit properly

Much Appreciated

Si

Yeah the perrys are the sealed versions

So whats the difference between the DMR axles, or will any of them work with Modification, someone told me they just need to be shortend slightly and the end thread made longer to come further down the axle? But in honesty I have no idea!!!

V8's are the loose ball version and V12's are the sealed version.

Post by: Gary72 on June 20, 2015, 11:26 PM: I stripped the axle out of a V12 today, Was expecting bearings at both ends, But the only bearing is at the outer end. :shocked:
