Title: Ripper build
Post by: gmac on December 06, 2005, 06:56 PM

Got the baby blue Tuffs from Aditup today. Didn't waste any time getting them on, but what a b4stard to fit. Had to take the axles right out, cos they wouldn't go through the ends of the dropouts  :tickedoff:

Worth the effort though  8)

Getting a wheel into a ripper is easy, just get a hack saw and cut the last 10mm out of the drop out :)

ripper dropouts are odd
mine are 14mm, but there are little tabs at the ends making the very end bit 10mm, so you cant get a 14mm axle in there!
i have to use 10mm axle and those fork washers.
why are they like that?

sweet looking ripper though
they look nice in black!!!
