Get some pics up of the akles close to the drop out savers - there is no reason why they should not fit !

That looks as though its gonna be an AWESOME Ripper

make sure you finish the rest of it of at that standard mate , it's a real beaut  :smitten:



Did the Suntour axles not have flat sides  ?( narrower , therefore being too fat to easily slot into your Landing gears  ::)

Hi, only just seen this post and see you now have your wheels fitted so a bit late. I just wanted  to point out  that the hubs you have are fitted with 10mm spindles, slightly bigger than 3/8" that your frame savers possibly are hence the reason for filing.

Ripper's looking fat!!
