Gday Steve, Aparently the TRX rims require a different wheel nut that has a taper (like a normal nut) then an extended cylinder part (the shank bit) that extends further onto the stud. The shank part both locates the TRX wheel correctly and extends the number of stud threads holding the wheel on. I was told all this by a tyre place after running TRX rims on my 1600 with normal lugs for a couple of years - they said it was suprising the wheels hadnt fallen off because with normal nuts the wheels are only held on by 2 or 3 threads!!! When trying to source a set, I was told the 200B SX and pulsar ET mags use the same weird nut.
Hope that makes some sense - easy to see in real life but hard to describe :) Andrew (Melb) > Hi Andrew, could you explain shanked ? is that the standard nuts for the > TRX ? > > where are you ? > Steve > Darwin NT > --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
