you could but I wouldnt recommend it. get the washers otherwise you will only regret it.
trust me I wrecked a Hoffman Suger Baby doing the same thing with some shimano dx race hubs and fooked the hubs too.

lol @ alex
you could just tighten it, i would ride it that way, but i reckon it will loosen off faster, and will strip the threads quicker.
-
just make sure you get the right ones :daumenhoch:

Is it a redline fork?? :)

That, was genius :4_17_5: :4_17_5: :4_17_5:
I was singing along and everything!
Lots of people just tighten them up and go riding. I would suggest a good quality 10mm penny washer or similar to spread the load of the smaller nut to help things out. ;)

No Dan a late 80's robinson.
Moose i hear that.. i fitted a 14-10mm in a Gt fork and the forks drops were slightly smaller than 14mm..
was a right ball ache fileing the drops to make it fit.
I think these are the same type of dropout.. fook it as bob said, tighten them with a big washer :daumenhoch:
-
I'm pretty sure they'll not be 14mm if they're from a late 80's Robo
-
a 14mm wont fit thro the slot, a decent washer either side would do it tho
-
A 14mm will go.. you have to put them on either side of the axle, like washers
put your wheel in ..then push them in
-
my gt frame was like that never did get the washers for it lol
